[Member 781610]

hi :), i'm presently in a project where i want to use windows password for my users authentication. I don't know how. Could any one please provide me the resources. Thanx, Seenivasan Palaniappan ;) Long Live

What do you mean by 'use windows password' ? If you want just something that let the user enter a password in an edit box (and hiding the characters), you have an option with the editbox that let you do that (check the password option).

I think that he want's to use the users and groups from a windows domain controller for automatic authentication. Behind every great black man...             ... is the police. - Conspiracy brother Blog[^]

Well maybe you can accept user login details and do an impersonate login, if it succeeds then consider that it is a valid user.

Hi :-), I didn't get your question. But i assume that you want to check if the user is really a windows user and has entered his username and password correctly. If that is the case, then you can use concepts from http://win32.mvps.org Also, refer to the "Authorization Functions" under the Win32 SDK help. CreateProcessAsUser and CreateProcessWithLogon can be used. Happy coding. Regards, Suresh Ponnusami
