IWMSInternalAdminNetSource2::DeleteCredentialsEx method (wmsinternaladminnetsource.h)

[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Format 11 SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by Source Reader and Sink Writer. Source Reader and Sink Writer have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use Source Reader and Sink Writer instead of Windows Media Format 11 SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

The DeleteCredentialsEx method removes a password from the cache. This improved version of IWMSInternalAdminNetSource::DeleteCredentials uses the combination of realm, URL, and proxy use to identify the credentials. This is an improvement over using the realm by itself, which can easily be spoofed by malicious code.

Syntax

HRESULT DeleteCredentialsEx(
  [in] BSTR bstrRealm,
  [in] BSTR bstrUrl,
  [in] BOOL fProxy
);

Parameters

[in] bstrRealm

String containing the realm name. Realm names are supplied by servers to distinguish different levels of access to their files. Not all servers will have realm names, in which case the DNS name is used.

[in] bstrUrl

String containing the URL to which the credentials apply.

[in] fProxy

Boolean value that is True if the password applies when using a proxy server to access the site specified by bstrUrl.

Return value

If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an HRESULT error code.
