'How can I add Windows Credentials to Credentials Manager on Windows programmatically?
I have looked at this question's selected answer, Retrieve Credentials from Windows Credentials Store using C#, which uses the CredentialManagement NuGet package to get and set credentials on Windows.
Credential Management package is a wrapper for the Windows Credential Management API that supports both the old and the new style of UI
I was able to set new credentials that way. However, they were set as Generic Credentials.
public static bool SetCredentials(
string target, string username, string password, PersistanceType persistenceType)
{
return new Credential
{
Target = target,
Username = username,
Password = password,
PersistanceType = persistenceType
}.Save();
}
According to this, there are at least four different types of credentials that the Windows Credentials Manager can use:
- Windows Credentials
- Certificate-Based Credentials
- Generic Credentials
- Web Credentials
The credentials I need to set are intended to allow access to a specific local web server, and when I have added them manually as Windows Credentials they work, when they get added as Generic Credentials by the application, or myself, they don't work.
I couldn't find enough information about this here, so how can I add Windows Credentials to the Windows Credentials Manager by using this package, or in any other way that can be done programmatically?
I managed to solve my issue by doing it the way it's shown in this question: C# Using CredWrite to Access C$.
