2.2.2.18 PasswordProperty

The PasswordProperty type represents a password associated with a security principal.

Simple type: eDT_LPWSTR. It is represented as an LPWSTR or LPCWSTR type (as specified in [MS-DTYP] section 2.2.36), or an array of bytes containing a null-terminated array of wchar_t in little-endian byte order and marshaled in a char*, when used as a method parameter.

Validity: No restrictions.

Server validation: Servers MAY enforce an implementation-specific character length limit. If so, this limit SHOULD be at least 255 characters, not including the terminating null character.

Client validation: Clients SHOULD simply pass through the value provided by the client application.

Except where otherwise noted, properties of this type MUST NOT be persisted in plaintext or returned to clients.
