Credential providers in Windows 7

dflanagan

I am looking for clearer defintion on credential providers. We are using SafeGuard 6.01. When our clients do a switch user in Windows 7 they see the non Sophos other icon and the last users non Sophos icon. I not sure which credential providers in the registry  that needs to be disable. Does anyone know of a reference that defines what each credential provider names does?

    Hi dflanagan,

    you might want to take a look at the following Knowledge Base Article:

    SafeGuard Enterprise: How to hide credential providers from the Windows Logon User Interface using Windows Group Policy

    http://www.sophos.com/en-us/support/knowledgebase/1376/1380/114190.aspx

    It does not explain the Microsoft Credential Providers in detail but gives an example on how to disable Credential Providers and explains which ones you should not hide.

    Regards,

    Chris,

    Thanks for the reply. I have looked at that article but was confused about how to eliminate the icons that were normal windows 7 icons. is there anything about where I could get a detailed information?

    Add Dword

    Disabled = 1

    to

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\Credential Providers\{6f45dc1e-5384-457a-bc13-2cd81b0d28ed}

    This will disable the standard Windows Credential provider and leave only the SGN credential provider.

    Not if you remove safeguard there will be no credential provider enabled to allow logon to windows 7, set to 0 if you remove safeguard.

    This should be an option during the installation to disable the windows credential provider.
