How can I write and deploy a custom authentication package in windows?

Question

I am trying to implement a custom authentication package where I can pass only user name from the custom credential provider to custom Authentication package and the Authentication package should check if that user name exists in Sam database if yes it should let me login, I am kind of trying to achieve a password less authentication here. I found the functions that are needed to implement this authentication package in windows documentation here as I am new to development of windows I didn't get much understanding from them, I am looking for a sample code of Authentication package where I can debug that sample and gain some knowledge on how it works.

Without password required you need create your customized Credential Provider.
