Specifies the password used when connecting to the SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP1 Server Agent.

Namespace: System.Data.SqlServerCe
Assembly: System.Data.SqlServerCe (in system.data.sqlserverce.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Property InternetPassword As String

public string InternetPassword { get; set; }

public:
property String^ InternetPassword {
    String^ get ();
    void set (String^ value);
}

/** @property */
public String get_InternetPassword ()

/** @property */
public void set_InternetPassword (String value)

public function get InternetPassword () : String

public function set InternetPassword (value : String)

Property Value

The Internet Information Services (IIS) password string. The default is no password.

Remarks

The InternetPassword property is required if the SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP1 Server Agent is configured to use Basic Authentication or Integrated Windows Authentication. When Integrated Windows authentication is used, InternetPassword is not passed across the network.

When using Basic Authentication, you should configure IIS to use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Private Communication Technology (PCT) encryption to help protect the user's password. In the absence of SSL or PCT encryption, Basic Authentication transmits passwords across the network in an easily decryptable form. This is unsafe; always use SSL or PCT encryption to help protect passwords when using Basic Authentication.

Example

The following example sets the InternetPassword property of the SqlCeReplication object.

Dim repl As SqlCeReplication = Nothing

Try
    ' Instantiate and configure SqlCeReplication object
    '
    'NOTE: when possible, prompt users to enter security 
    'credentials at runtime. If you store credentials in a file, 
    'you must secure the file to prevent unauthorized access.
    '
    repl = New SqlCeReplication()
    repl.InternetUrl = "https://www.adventure-works.com/sqlce/sqlcesa35.dll"
    repl.InternetLogin = "MyInternetLogin"
    repl.InternetPassword = "<enterStrongPassword>"
    repl.Publisher = "MyPublisher"
    repl.PublisherDatabase = "MyPublisherDatabase"
    repl.PublisherLogin = "MyPublisherLogin"
    repl.PublisherPassword = "<enterStrongPassword>"
    repl.Publication = "MyPublication"
    repl.Subscriber = "MySubscriber"
    repl.SubscriberConnectionString = "Data Source=MyDatabase.sdf"

    ' Create the local SQL Mobile Database subscription
    '
    repl.AddSubscription(AddOption.CreateDatabase)

    ' Synchronize to the SQL Server to populate the Subscription 
    '
    repl.Synchronize()
Catch
    ' Handle errors here
    '
Finally
    ' Dispose the repl object
    '
    repl.Dispose()
End Try

SqlCeReplication repl = null;

try
{
    // Instantiate and configure SqlCeReplication object
    //
    //NOTE: when possible, prompt users to enter security 
    //credentials at runtime. If you store credentials in a file, 
    //you must secure the file to prevent unauthorized access.
    //
    repl = new SqlCeReplication();
    repl.InternetUrl = "https://www.adventure-works.com/sqlce/sqlcesa35.dll";
    repl.InternetLogin = "MyInternetLogin";
    repl.InternetPassword = "<enterStrongPassword>";
    repl.Publisher = "MyPublisher";
    repl.PublisherDatabase = "MyPublisherDatabase";
    repl.PublisherLogin = "MyPublisherLogin";
    repl.PublisherPassword = "<enterStrongPassword>";
    repl.Publication = "MyPublication";
    repl.Subscriber = "MySubscriber";
    repl.SubscriberConnectionString = "Data Source=MyDatabase.sdf";

    // Create a local SQL Mobile Database subscription
    //
    repl.AddSubscription(AddOption.CreateDatabase);

    // Synchronize to the SQL Server database
    //
    repl.Synchronize();
}
catch (SqlCeException)
{
    // Handle errors here
    //
}
finally
{
    // Dispose the repl object
    //
    repl.Dispose();
}
