Logon Screen/VI

[FixedWire 4]

Hi,

I'm in the process of creating an app where the code had previously used the DSC module, that used to be included in LV, just for logging in. The DSC has now been replaced with the OPC toolkit afik. On a new project it doesn't make sense to use DSC nor does getting the OPC and dealing with runtimes when a fraction of the toolkit will be used.

Having looked around I've not found a good replacement. At this point I'm looking at rolling my own & using the Windows logon (Advapi32.dll:LogonUserA) or the .NET System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagment.PrincipalContext

Any suggestions?

 

The end application is for a regulated environment so the code needs to be extensively tested. Thought I'd ask before diving into a rabbit hole unnecessarily.

Thanks!
