WebSetUserAuthDigest Function

Action

Sets the password for digest user authentication.

注: This function overrides the corresponding setting on the Authentication tab of the Profile Settings – Web dialog. In contrast to the WebSetUserAuth function, this function does not change the credentials for Basic or NTLM/Kerberos authentication.

Include file

WebAPI.bdh

Syntax

WebSetUserAuthDigest( in sUsername : string allownull,
                      in sPassword : string allownull,
                      in sUrl      : string allownull,
                      in sRealm    : string allownull ): boolean;

Return value

true if successful
false otherwise

Parameter	Description
sUsername	User name; this parameter may be NULL.
sPassword	Password (optional)
sUrl	URL representing protection space for digest authentication (optional)
sRealm	Realm for which to set authentication (optional). This realm provides a special context for the username/password to a Web site. For example, www.MyCompany.com uses realm "www.MyCompany.com", whereas www.MyCompany.com/support uses realm "MyCompany support".

Calling this function inserts the username/password pair into the authentication database used when a server requests digest authentication (code 401). On subsequent requests, the authentication header line is added to the request headers automatically.

To set the default username/password, call WebSetUserAuthDigest("user1", "pass1");
To delete the default username/password, call WebSetUserAuthDigest("", ""); This does not remove the entry from the authentication database.
To remove all cached authentication entries from the cookie database, call WebSetUserAuthDigest(NULL);
In addition, you can add authentication entries directly to the authentication database by providing a protection space and the realm. For example, WebSetUserAuthDigest("DigestcAuthUser", "DigestAuthPass", "http://lab1/testsite/", "lab1");

Example

dcltrans
  transaction TWeb
  begin
    WebSetUserAuthDigest("domain\\user", "password");
    WebPageUrl("http://www.mydomain.com/");
  end TWeb;
