IWMSInternalAdminNetSource::DeleteCredentials 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 It has been superseded by Source Reader and Sink Writer.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 DeleteCredentials method removes a password from the cache.

This method has been superseded by IWMSInternalAdminNetSource2::DeleteCredentialsEx. The methods of IWMSInternalAdminNetSource2 are much more secure than the password caching methods in IWMSInternalAdminNetSource and should be used if available.

Syntax

HRESULT DeleteCredentials(
  [in] BSTR bstrRealm
);

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 will have realm names, in which case the DNS name is used.

Return value

If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an HRESULT error code.
