This project is a sample implementation of windows credential provider in the Rust programming language. It performs local user login using the MSV1_0 authentication package. It is meant to be used as a starting point for developing custom credential providers.
Note: This project is a very basic implementation created for learning purposes, and it may contain bugs. Feel free to provide feedback and report any issues you encounter.
Follow these steps to set up and install the credential provider:
-
Generate a Unique GUID: In order to avoid conflicts with other implementations, you need to generate a unique GUID. You can use tools like GUID Generator to generate a new GUID. Update the GUID in the following files:
register.rgunregister.rglib.rs
-
Register the Credential Provider: Run the register.rg script on the target machine to register the credential provider.
-
Build and Copy the DLL: Build your project to generate the DLL file. After successful compilation, copy the DLL to the System32 folder of the target machine.
-
Verify the Installation: Once the machine restarts, your custom credential provider should be available in the login screen options.
