Beta InformationThis article discusses a Beta release of a Microsoft
product. The information in this article is provided as-is and is subject to
change without notice.
No formal product support is available from
Microsoft for this Beta product. For information about how to obtain support
for a Beta release, see the documentation that is included with the Beta
product files, or check the Web location where you downloaded the
release.SYMPTOMSConsider the following scenario: A user tries to log on to a Microsoft
Windows Vista-based computer that has multiple credential providers. You expect the logon interface to be provided by a certain credential provider. Instead, the user sees a logon interface from an unexpected credential provider.
For example, when a user tries to log on to the computer, the user sees the logon interface from a fingerprint scanner credential provider instead of the logon interface from a smart card credential provider.CAUSEThis behavior occurs because the first credential provider that calls the ICredentialProvider::GetCredentialCount
method is designated
as the default credential provider and is used to provide the logon interface.STATUS
This behavior is by design.
