Scenario : Domain user password verification at login screen by my custom credential provider.

LogonUser() returns errorcode 2(0x2)

Scenario : Domain user password verification at login screen by my custom credential provider.
Implementation

I have used LogonUser function for the above scenario with dwLogonType=LOGON32_LOGON_INTERACTIVE.
Using LOGON32_LOGON_NETWORK for dwLogonType fails when the Domain controllers are not reachable(remote work environment) from the PC and hence I moved to LOGON32_LOGON_INTERACTIVE which works for local cached credentials verification also.

Problem : LogonUser is failing with error code 2 (0x2) which doesn't make sense as per system error codes as ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND "The system cannot find the file specified".

please help me in,

Hello, @Krishna Kumar J

I cannot reproduce your question. Can you add some code to show more details?

Note:

Interactive logon. Use of the Interactive logon type requires a Windows account to be granted the Windows security privilege to Log on locally. By default, this logon type is not used by the SSH Server because a significant number of Windows servers are configured in such a way that this privilege is not granted for non-Administrator accounts.

For some purposes, the Interactive logon type is required. For example, it is not possible to access server-side printers in an SSH terminal session unless the SSH user is either an administrator, or has the Interactive logon type. The Interactive logon type is also required on Windows Server 2003 for terminal shell access.
