Summary

Introduction

Sometimes your application requires user-supplied credentials to access a protected resource, such as a database or a FTP site. Obtaining and storing a user's ID and password, however, introduces a security risk into your system. Where possible, you shouldn't have the user supply credentials at all (by using integrated authentication for your database, for example), but sometimes it cannot be avoided. If you do need to request credentials from the user, and your application will be running on Microsoft® Windows® XP or Microsoft® Windows Server 2003, then the operating system provides functions to make this task easier.
