Re: How to re-verify a users credentials from an Application?

Hello all,

I am currently helping develop an Application that has very "security
sensitive" features. In an effort to protect against the "away from
unlocked
terminal" problem, I have been asked to insert a feature in the secure
Application whereas the interactive user will be required to re-enter
their
Username/Password in a security challenge dialog before they are given
temporary (i.e. 2 minutes) access to the very "security sensitive"
features
of the secure Application.

As such, I am trying to figure out which API's to call in order to verify
an
Username/Password tuple once it has been provided by the user? Any help
would
be appreciated.

You're probably looking for "LogonUser()" and cousins and/or
"CredUIPromptForCredentials ()" and cousins (the latter displays the dialog
for you).
