About this tag
The tag 'generic credential' on WindowsForum.com covers issues related to generic credentials in Windows, particularly those involving the CRED_TYPE_GENERIC_CERTIFICATE type. A notable discussion involves a crash of the Lsass.exe process when signing into Lync 2010, caused by an application calling the CredWrite function with a generic certificate credential while roaming profiles are enabled on Windows 7 or Windows Server. This tag is relevant for troubleshooting credential-related errors in enterprise environments, especially those involving certificate-based authentication and roaming user profiles.
