User authentication
Posted by Senapathy on August 12th, 2003


Hello,

Env: W2K Sp3, VC6

I have a user-name (W2K domain user), password combination in cleartext
which I have to validate.
The obvious way to validate this would be to do a ::LogonUser with this
combination. However, this requires addition of privileges to the logged on
user which requires a reboot/relogon.

Is there any other way / API by which I can verify that the password
supplied is correct?

Senapathy
