MergePullSubscription.InternetPassword Property

SQL Server 2012

Gets or sets the password for the supplied InternetLogin value when connecting to the Web server during Web synchronization.

Namespace:  Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication
Assembly:  Microsoft.SqlServer.Rmo (in Microsoft.SqlServer.Rmo.dll)
C#
C++
F#
JScript
VB
Copy 
public string InternetPassword { get; set; }

Property Value

Type: System.String

You should use the SecureInternetPassword property to set the Internet password. SecureInternetPassword provides better security for the password while it exists in memory.

When possible, prompt users to enter security credentials at runtime. If you must store credentials, use the cryptographic services provided by the Microsoft Windows .NET Framework.

The password is never returned by InternetPassword.

You should use BasicAuthentication with Web synchronization. For more information, see Web Synchronization for Merge Replication.

The InternetPassword property can only be set by members of the sysadmin fixed server role at the Subscriber or by members of the db_owner fixed database role on the subscription database.

Setting the InternetPassword property is equivalent to executing sp_addmergepullsubscription_agent or sp_changemergepullsubscription.

This property is only used if the UseWebSynchronization property is true.
