Adding Password Protection in FBA phase

[Guest]

Hi All,

I want to know is it possible to add password protection feature just as in
case of normal OS installation process, during FBA phase. Can we add any
application which will perform the password checking function?

Thanks & Regards
Roshan.

1. You could add the password for the account in Target Designer.
Administrator and User Account components allow you to setup a password.
2. You could create an application that runs at a later phase of FBA that
allows the user to set a password.

May I ask why you want to do this?

Hello Sean,

Thanks for the advice; this is one of our client’s requirements that they
want a security (password protection) just as in case XP Pro installation
process.
I am reading your book on "Windows XP Embedded Advanced" In the chapter
'First Boot Agent’, under ‘Take control of FBA’ exercise, you have mentioned
about running VB scripts by calling ‘WSCRIPT.EXE’ the script can be
programmed to run at any interval of FBA from Target designer. Similar to
this we can run any application that will do the password check and execute
the FBA –shutdown command if no password match is found.

Thanks & Regards
Roshan.
