  GINA DEAD! Long Live "Credential Providers" for Vista 

  Have you ever wondered how third parties were able to change the Windows Logon?  It was via the GINA (Graphical Identification and Authentication).  Well, in Windows Vista… the logon architecture was reworked to make it much easier to implement new user authentication scenarios and more importantly… the GINA was killed.

  It was not without reason and it does make it easier to integrate your custom C++ code.  Find out more about Credential Providers and how the logon process works at this MSDN Magazine article.
