MORE INFORMATION
The dialer program may use the RasSetEntryProperties function, set the credentials on that entry, obtain the credentials by using the RasGetCredentials function, and then delete the entry. If this occurs in a tight loop, the delay in obtaining the credentials continues to grow. The dialer program may have been created by using the Connection Manager Administration Kit (CMAK), or by using other proprietary dialers that are designed for Microsoft Windows by third-party developers
