IWMSInternalAdminNetSource3::GetCredentialsEx2 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 It has been superseded by Source Reader and Sink Writer.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 GetCredentialsEx2 method retrieves a cached password. This improved version of IWMSInternalAdminNetSource2::GetCredentialsEx adds a flag (fClearTextAuthentication) that indicates whether credentials were sent in unencrypted form over the network.

Syntax

HRESULT GetCredentialsEx2(
  [in]  BSTR                             bstrRealm,
  [in]  BSTR                             bstrUrl,
  [in]  BOOL                             fProxy,
  [in]  BOOL                             fClearTextAuthentication,
  [out] NETSOURCE_URLCREDPOLICY_SETTINGS *pdwUrlPolicy,
  [out] BSTR                             *pbstrName,
  [out] BSTR                             *pbstrPassword,
  [out] BOOL                             *pfConfirmedGood
);

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 is 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] fClearTextAuthentication

Boolean value that is True if the cached credentials were previously sent over the network in an unencrypted form.

[out] pdwUrlPolicy

Pointer to a DWORD containing one member of the NETSOURCE_URLCREDPOLICY_SETTINGS enumeration type. This value is based on the user's network security settings and determines whether your application can automatically log in to sites for the user if you have credentials cached.

[out] pbstrName

Pointer to a string containing the user name.

[out] pbstrPassword

Pointer to a string containing the password.

[out] pfConfirmedGood

Boolean value that is True if the password was cached after it was confirmed as correct by the server.

Return value

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