[PATCH] wincred: improve compatibility with windows versions

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



On WinXP, the windows credential helper doesn't work at all (due to missing
Cred[Un]PackAuthenticationBuffer APIs). On Win7, the credential format used
by wincred is incompatible with native Windows tools (such as the control
panel applet or 'cmdkey.exe /generic'). These Windows tools only set the
TargetName, UserName and CredentialBlob members of the CREDENTIAL
structure (where CredentialBlob is the UTF-16-encoded password).

Remove the unnecessary packing / unpacking of the password, along with the
related API definitions, for compatibility with Windows XP.

Don't use CREDENTIAL_ATTRIBUTEs to identify credentials for compatibility
with Windows credential manager tools. Parse the protocol, username, host
and path fields from the credential's target name instead.

While we're at it, optionally accept CRLF (instead of LF only) to simplify
debugging in bash / cmd.

Hi,

I tried the windows credential helper yesterday and found that it doesn't work on XP at all, and doesn't work properly in combination with Win7 credential manager tools. So here's a patch that reduces it to the functionality provided / expected by Windows.

@Erik, Jeff: Please let me know if I'm missing something and the use of Cred[Un]PackAuthenticationBuffer or CREDENTIAL_ATTRIBUTEs actually served a useful purpose.

Cheers,
Karsten
