Credentials Manager

To access the Credentials Manager via the Control Panel, navigate to User
Accounts, select the user account to manage the credentials for, on the
left navigation menu, select "Manage my Network Passwords".

To access the Credendials Manager via the command line, start/run:
	rundll32.exe keymgr.dll,KRShowKeyMgr

This will open the Credentials Manager which has the title of:
	"Stored User Names and Passwords"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stored User Names and Passwords connection objects (keys) can be created
manually to various entities:
	• specific resource:
		server.domain.forest.com
	• less specific set of resources:
		*.domain.forest.com (all resources in domain.forest.com)
	• very general set of resources:
		*.forest.com (all resources in forest.com)


To authenticate to any computer on a specific domain, open the credentials
manager and choose the Add button. For the "Server" field, add:
	*.domain.lan
Then add your username in one of the following ways:
	username@domain.lan
	domain\username
Type in the password and choose OK.


When you manually create an entry using the Credentials Manager you can use
a specific resource (server.domain.forest.com ), a less specific resource
(*.domain.forest.com) for all resources in domain.forest.com, or a general
set of resources (*.forest.com) for all resources in forest.com. If you have
multiple credentials that can apply to the target resource, Windows XP SP1
and later uses the most specific credential that is applicable.
