I believe the Cred* API was introduced in Win2k. The XP control panel applet supports domain credentials only, but cmdkey.exe from Windows Server 2003 can be used on XP to manage generic credentials. > The credential attributes were because they were convenient, and I'm > not sure I understand what you mean about the Win7 credential manager > tools.

No, I was referring to creating / editing git credentials with Windows tools manually. For example, changing your password in control panel removes all credential attributes, so the current wincred won't find them any longer...same for git credentials created e.g. via 'cmdkey /generic:git:http://m...@example.com /user:me /pass:secret'. The 'puzzling' part is that those credentials *look* exactly the same as if created by wincred, but they don't work.

I can imagine different credentials for reading / writing, but then the protocol would usually be different as well, wouldn't it? (e.g. http vs. ssh) One of my interim solutions was to remove the username part from the URL entirely. That enabled me to change credentials in control panel (including the username), and wincred would use them. However, that version failed the 'helper can store multiple users' test, so I ended up with storing / checking username twice. >> @@ -165,44 +143,15 @@ static void get_credential(void) >> /* search for the first credential that matches username */ >> for (i = 0; i < num_creds; ++i) >> if (match_cred(creds[i])) { >> - cred = creds[i]; >> + write_item("username", creds[i]->UserName, >> + wcslen(creds[i]->UserName)); >> + write_item("password", >> + (LPCWSTR)creds[i]->CredentialBlob, >> + creds[i]->CredentialBlobSize / >> sizeof(WCHAR)); >> break; >> } >> - if (!cred) >> - return; >> - >> - CredUnPackAuthenticationBufferW(0, cred->CredentialBlob, >> - cred->CredentialBlobSize, NULL, &user_buf_size, NULL, NULL, >> - NULL, &pass_buf_size); >> - >> - user_buf = xmalloc(user_buf_size * sizeof(WCHAR)); >> - pass_buf = xmalloc(pass_buf_size * sizeof(WCHAR)); >> - >> - if (!CredUnPackAuthenticationBufferW(0, cred->CredentialBlob, >> - cred->CredentialBlobSize, user_buf, &user_buf_size, NULL, NULL, >> - pass_buf, &pass_buf_size)) >> - die("CredUnPackAuthenticationBuffer failed"); >> >> CredFree(creds); >> - >> - /* zero-terminate (sizes include zero-termination) */ >> - user_buf[user_buf_size - 1] = L'\0'; >> - pass_buf[pass_buf_size - 1] = L'\0'; >> - >> - write_item("username", user_buf); >> - write_item("password", pass_buf); >> - >> - free(user_buf); >> - free(pass_buf); >> -} > > Nice! > >> - >> -static void write_attr(CREDENTIAL_ATTRIBUTEW *attr, const WCHAR *keyword, >> - const char *value) >> -{ >> - attr->Keyword = (LPWSTR)keyword; >> - attr->Flags = 0; >> - attr->ValueSize = strlen(value) + 1; /* store zero-termination */ >> - attr->Value = (LPBYTE)value; >> } >> >> static void store_credential(void) >> @@ -215,40 +164,18 @@ static void store_credential(void) >> if (!wusername || !password) >> return; >> >> - /* query buffer size */ >> - CredPackAuthenticationBufferW(0, wusername, password, >> - NULL, &auth_buf_size); >> - >> - auth_buf = xmalloc(auth_buf_size); >> - >> - if (!CredPackAuthenticationBufferW(0, wusername, password, >> - auth_buf, &auth_buf_size)) >> - die("CredPackAuthenticationBuffer failed"); >> - >> cred.Flags = 0; >> cred.Type = CRED_TYPE_GENERIC; >> cred.TargetName = target; >> cred.Comment = L"saved by git-credential-wincred"; >> - cred.CredentialBlobSize = auth_buf_size; >> - cred.CredentialBlob = auth_buf; >> + cred.CredentialBlobSize = (wcslen(password)) * sizeof(WCHAR); >> + cred.CredentialBlob = (LPVOID)password; >> cred.Persist = CRED_PERSIST_LOCAL_MACHINE; >> - cred.AttributeCount = 1; >> - cred.Attributes = attrs; >> + cred.AttributeCount = 0; >> + cred.Attributes = NULL; >> cred.TargetAlias = NULL; >> cred.UserName = wusername; >> >> - write_attr(attrs, L"git_protocol", protocol); >> - >> - if (host) { >> - write_attr(attrs + cred.AttributeCount, L"git_host", host); >> - cred.AttributeCount++; >> - } >> - >> - if (path) { >> - write_attr(attrs + cred.AttributeCount, L"git_path", path); >> - cred.AttributeCount++; >> - } >> - >> if (!CredWriteW(&cred, 0)) >> die("CredWrite failed"); >> } > > Nice. > >> @@ -284,10 +211,13 @@ static void read_credential(void) >> >> while (fgets(buf, sizeof(buf), stdin)) { >> char *v; >> + int len = strlen(buf); >> + /* strip trailing CR / LF */ >> + while (len && strchr("\r\n", buf[len - 1])) >> + buf[--len] = 0; >> >> - if (!strcmp(buf, "\n")) >> + if (!*buf) >> break; >> - buf[strlen(buf)-1] = '\0'; >> >> v = strchr(buf, '='); >> if (!v) > > I think this part deserves a separate patch, no?
