DistributorPassword Property (Replication ActiveX)

The DistributorPassword property sets or returns the login password used when connecting to the Distributor.

Security Note:
When possible, prompt users to enter their credentials at run time. Avoid hard-coding or storing credentials in a file. If credentials must be persisted between runs, encrypt them using the Win32 CryptoAPI functions. For more information, see this Microsoft Web site.
