Beta Information
This 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.



SYMPTOMS
Consider 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.



CAUSE
This 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.

Additional query words: Logon UI User Interface
