I don't know if this is the correct forum for my question about developing credential providers, but here goes.
I need to create some form of network access inside a credential provider. I have a provider I have built which accesses some information on a network server. This provider works fine in the CredUI case as the network is available. However, I don't seem to be able to get the network access in the logon scenario. Now, my reading hints that I might need to create a PLAP type provider, but I seem unable to find much information on building these special providers. Pointing me to better resources than I have found would be helpful.
But, on a more general idea. Is there a way to provide a user session inside the provider that would have access to the network? Or, am I going about this in the wrong way? Or would a Domain connected system allow network access during the logon session in the credential provider?
Thanks
