IWMSAdminAnonUser Object (Visual Basic .NET)

When you enable the WMS Anonymous User Authentication plug-in, a client can attempt to connect to the server without providing a user name or password. The client is granted the access permissions specified for an account that Windows Media Services has been configured to use as the anonymous user account. You can use the IWMSAdminAnonUser object to retrieve the name of the user account and specify a user name and password for use during the authorization process. The IWMSAdminAnonUser object exposes the following properties and methods.

Property	Description
AnonymousUserName	Retrieves the name of the Windows Media user account that is used to specify access permissions when an anonymous user connects to a Windows Media server.
IsPasswordSet	Retrieves a Boolean value indicating whether a password has been associated with anonymous user connections.

Method	Description
SetUserNamePassword	Specifies a user name and password for the authorization process.

    Dim AdminAnonUser As IWMSAdminAnonUser

Try
    ' Create the WMSServer object.
    Server = New WMSServer()

    ' Retrieve the plug-in to be configured.
    Plugin = Server.Authenticators.Item( _
         "WMS Anonymous User Authentication")

    ' Retrieve the custom interface of the plug-in.
    AdminAnonUser = Plugin.CustomInterface
