IWMSPublishingPoint.DistributionUserName (C#)

IWMSPublishingPoint.DistributionUserName (C#)

The DistributionUserName property retrieves the user name provided by the client in response to an authentication challenge sent during server-to-server distribution.

Syntax

  IWMSPublishingPoint
  .DistributionUserName = string;
string = IWMSPublishingPoint.DistributionUserName;

Property Value

A string containing the user name.

If this property fails, it throws an exception.

Remarks

You can use a password and the name returned by the DistributionUserName property to retrieve content from a publishing point on a remote server that has authentication and authorization plug-ins enabled.

Example Code

using Microsoft.WindowsMediaServices.Interop;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

// Declare variables.
WMSServer              Server;
IWMSPublishingPoints   PubPoints;
IWMSPublishingPoint    PubPoint;

bool                   bVal;
string                 strText;

try {
    // Create a new WMSServer object.
    Server = new WMSServerClass();

    // Retrieve the IWMSPublishingPoints object.
    PubPoints = Server.PublishingPoints;

    // Retrieve information about each publishing point.
    for (int i = 0; i < PubPoints.Count; i++)
    {
        PubPoint = PubPoints[i];

        // Retrieve a Boolean value indicating whether
        // a distribution password is set.
        bVal = PubPoint.IsDistributionPasswordSet;

        // Retrieve the distribution user name associated
        // with the publishing point.
        strText = PubPoint.DistributionUserName;

    }
}
catch (COMException comExc) {
    // TODO: Handle COM exceptions.
}
