IMsTscNonScriptable::get_PortablePassword

  • Article

This method retrieves the password part of a connection password for the Remote Desktop ActiveX control, in portable encoded format.

HRESULT get_PortablePassword(
  BSTR* pPortablePass
);

Parameters

  • pPortablePass
    [out] Pointer to a string that receives the password in portable-encoded format. This should not be considered a strongly encrypted format.

Return Values

If the method succeeds, the return value is S_OK.

If it fails, the method returns a nonzero error code.

Remarks

If you first call put_ClearTextPassword to set a password in clear-text format, you can then convert the password to portable encoded format by calling get_PortablePassword.

A portable encoded password consists of a portable password and a portable salt value, and appears as a string of hexadecimal digits.

To set a password in portable-encoded format, you must call both put_PortablePassword and put_PortableSalt.

You can call the get_PortableSalt method to retrieve the portable salt part of the password.

For more information about converting clear-text passwords to encoded passwords, see the put_ClearTextPassword method.

This method allocates the memory for the buffer pointed to by pPortablePass. C/C++ applications must call the SysFreeString function to free the memory. This is not required for Visual Basic clients.

Requirements

OS Versions: Windows CE .NET 4.0 and later.
Header: Discodlg.h. Mstsax.idl.
Link Library: Mstsax.lib.
