Credential Type Providers (Windows CE 5.0)
A credential type provider understands the semantics of each credential type that it supports and determines what has to be cached. A credential type provider is an external DLL that supports single or multiple credential types.
There are three default credential type providers that are supported by credential manager Windows CE. Depending on the catalog item you choose, you get one of the three default type providers in your OS design.
The following table provides information about the type provider name, its associated sysgen and primitive credential types.
| Credential type provider | Sysgen | Supported primitive credential types |
|---|---|---|
| Default | SYSGEN_CREDMAN | CRED_TYPE_PLAINTEXT_PASSWORD
CRED_TYPE_CERTIFICATE CRED_TYPE_GENERIC |
| Kerberos | SYSGEN_KERBEROS | CRED_TYPE_KERBEROS |
| NTLM | SYSGEN_NTLM | CRED_TYPE_NTLM |
