Validate NT Password

[Gregery D Engle]

I want to have a login box within my application that will
require:

NT Login Name
NT Password

NT Login name is easy via GetUserName

I know I probably won't be able to get the NT Password but
is there any API that can validate a password given to it?

I just want a True/False if the password is correct or not.

Thanks

You might want to take a look at the LogonUser api call.
This might be what you are looking for.

Mark,

That would probably work but that is only for NT. I want
something for 9x as well.

Any other ideas?

I've got some code for enumerating the users, has the api you need but is in VB format...

This is two totally different things for 95/98 and NT tho if I'm not mistaken..
NT is NTLM, 95/98 is....well it's something but I'm not sure exactly what....could be NTLM?


Search the VB archives for Enumusers and see if you can dig that up....
I'd be most curious to see the code as Winlog 5.0 will be authenticating against a domain login....I just haven't gotten that far yet..
