IWMSInternalAdminNetSource3::SetCredentialsEx2 method (wmsinternaladminnetsource.h)
[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Format 11 SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by Source Reader and Sink Writer. Source Reader and Sink Writer have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use Source Reader and Sink Writer instead of Windows Media Format 11 SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]
The SetCredentialsEx2 method adds a password to the cache. This improved version of IWMSInternalAdminNetSource2::SetCredentialsEx adds a flag (fClearTextAuthentication) that indicates whether credentials were sent in unencrypted form over the network.
Syntax
HRESULT SetCredentialsEx2(
[in] BSTR bstrRealm,
[in] BSTR bstrUrl,
[in] BOOL fProxy,
[in] BSTR bstrName,
[in] BSTR bstrPassword,
[in] BOOL fPersist,
[in] BOOL fConfirmedGood,
[in] BOOL fClearTextAuthentication
);
Parameters
[in] bstrRealm
String containing the realm name. Realm names are supplied by servers to distinguish different levels of access to their files. Not all servers have realm names, in which case the DNS name should be used.
If fProxy is False, this realm refers to the host server. If fProxy is True, this realm refers to the proxy server.
[in] bstrUrl
String containing the URL to which the credentials apply.
[in] fProxy
Boolean value that is True if the password applies when using a proxy server to access the site specified by bstrUrl.
[in] bstrName
String containing the user name.
[in] bstrPassword
String containing the password.
[in] fPersist
Boolean value that is True if these credentials should be permanently saved. If you set this to False, the credentials will only be persisted for the current session.
[in] fConfirmedGood
Boolean value that is True if the server has confirmed the password as correct. You can cache the password before receiving verification from the server, in which case you should set this to False.
[in] fClearTextAuthentication
Boolean value that is True if the credentials were obtained using an authentication scheme where credentials are sent over the network in an unencrypted form (such as HTTP Basic authentication).
Return value
If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an HRESULT error code.
