Parameters

conn

(IN) Specifies the NetWare server connection handle whose password is to be verified.

objName

(IN) Points to the name of the object whose password is to be verified.

objType

(IN) Specifies the type of object (see Object Type for type values).

password

(IN) Points to the password to be verified.

Return Values

These are common return values. See Return Values (Return Values for C).

Remarks

The requesting workstation does not have to be logged in to the NetWare server to call NWVerifyObjectPassword.

If the server supports encrypted passwords, the password is encrypted. If the server does not support encryption, password verification is attempted without encryption.

The objName and objType parameters must uniquely identify the bindery object and cannot contain wildcards.

A bindery object without a PASSWORD is different from a bindery object with a PASSWORD having no value. A workstation is not allowed to log in to a NetWare server as a bindery object that does not have a PASSWORD. A workstation can log in without a password if the bindery object has been given a PASSWORD containing no value.
