    Re: Windows Login System

    What do you mean by a "Windows Login System"? Do you mean an app that will actually let you login to Windows, or how to provide login functionality for your own app?

    Yes..I mean an app that will actually verify the login IDs and Passwords from a remote database and lets you login to the PC


    I need to intercept the Windows' Login in Windows XP for that as far as I know.


    Any linkz or pdfs that can help me?
    Or any help whatsoever (on second thoughts ) ???

    The wording for that sounds highly illegal.

    Re: Windows Login System

    Why try to intercept the login and validate it yourself? Windows does that for you.

    Re: Windows Login System

    If you have a database of members, cant you just add all the members into XP's built in login system...that way you dont have to check logins,Xp does it for you...

    Re: Windows Login System

    But it's like I have a network of some 30 PCs...

    and I expect the database of members to have beyond 300-500 records...

    So I dont think adding the database to the XP's built in login system would be good...

    So I need to find a way to validate the login UserID and Pass and then provide the user the login to the system automatically...




    Peace!

    Re: Windows Login System

    Couldnt you just create a Group for the Cafe surfers and then limit the pernmissions. If they cant login XP would kick them out.
    NT users and groups can easily handle 500+ acccounts. Maybe I'm still missing the point?

    Re: Windows Login System

    you need domain accounts. Get yourself a server and put windows 2000 server or windows 2003 server on it. If you can't afford this, linux's samba i believe has the ability to pretend its a domain controller. However, linux will by far not give you near the amount of control you get from windows 2000 or 2003 servers. As for learning about domains and domain controllers, do some research(google or book or something else) on active directory.
