Installation¶
Prerequisites¶
To use the privacyIDEA Credential Provider, you need to have a privacyIDEA Authentication System. The installation and setup of this backend is covered in another documentation [1].
Ask the company NetKnights to get an evaluation version of the privacyIDEA Credential Provider [2].
MSI package¶
The privacyIDEA Credential Provider comes as 64bit MSI package. You can install it manually or use your software distribution tool. In the installer, you can configure the most important options, but some less commonly used ones are not in the installer. You can find all options and explanations here ref:configuration
Manual Installation¶
The privacyIDEA Credential Provider and Filter can also be registered manually.
To do this, the file PrivacyIDEACredentialProvider.dll has to be put into %windir%\System32.
(If desired, the PrivacyIDEACredentialProviderFilter.dll can be added aswell).
Next, the privacyIDEA Credential Provider has to be registered to be loaded into the logon process.
This is done by adding its CLSID to the list of Credential Providers at
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\Credential Providers\.
Add a new key here with the name {7BAF541E-F8E0-4EDF-B69A-BD2771139E8E} (the CLSID).
Afterwards set the data of the default to PrivacyIDEACredentialProvider.
Finally, the DLL has to be registered with the system. To do this, go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\
and add a new key with the CLSID from above. Add another key to the on just created with the name
InprocServer32. Set the default data to PrivacyIDEACredentialProvider.dll and add another
REG_SZ with the name ThreadingModel and data Apartment.
Now the privacyIDEA Credential Provider is registered and should be visible at the next Login attempt.
This can also be done via the file RegisterProvider.reg.
If you wish to also use the privacyIDEA Credential Provider Filter, do the steps above again with the
CLSID of the Filter which is {34065473-D75F-4BC2-9782-E98E63ED0D41} and registration at
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\Credential Provider Filters\.
Alternativly, the file RegisterFilter.reg can be used.
To unregister, the corresponding files UnregisterXXX.reg can be used.
This does not remove the configuration, DLL files or CLSID entries, it only removes the Provider or Filter
from the Authentication flow at ``HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\.
