Examples

The following example demonstrates how to set the Password property of a virtual directory.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.Web.Administration;
using Microsoft.Web.Management;

namespace AdministrationSnippets
{
    public class AdministrationAuthenticationLogonMethod
    {
        // Creates a new virtual directory and sets the logon method.
        public void SetLogonMethod()
        {
            ServerManager manager = new ServerManager();
            Site defaultSite = manager.Sites["Default Web Site"];
            Application reports = defaultSite.Applications.Add(
                "/reports", @"\\FileServer\Reports");

            // Configure the default virtual directory for the application.
            VirtualDirectory reportDir = reports.VirtualDirectories[0];
            reportDir.LogonMethod = AuthenticationLogonMethod.Batch;
            reportDir.UserName = @"HumanResources\Jane";
            reportDir.Password = @"iL@1Fnw!";

            manager.CommitChanges();
        }
    }
}

Remarks

You should use this property when the virtual directory requires alternative credentials to access secured content, such as a UNC path. When you set the password for a virtual directory, the value stored in the configuration system is encrypted.
