Credential Security Service Provider and SSO for Terminal Services Logon

Credential Security Service Provider and SSO for Terminal Services Logon

Authentication protocols are implemented in Windows by security service providers. Windows Vista introduces a new authentication package called the Credential Security Service Provider, or CredSSP, that provides a single sign-on (SSO) user experience when starting new Terminal Services sessions. CredSSP enables applications to delegate users' credentials from the client computer (by using the client-side security service provider) to the target server (through the server-side security service provider) based on client policies. CredSSP policies are configured via Group Policy, and delegation of credentials is turned off by default.
