Creates or changes a public/private key pair for a specified object. Does not support international or extended characters in passwords.
#include <nwnet.h> or #include <nwdsasa.h> N_EXTERN_LIBRARY (NWDSCCODE) NWDSGenerateObjectKeyPair ( NWDSContextHandle contextHandle, pnstr8 objectName, pnstr8 objectPassword, nflag32 pwdOption);
uses netwin32 Function NWDSGenerateObjectKeyPair (contextHandle : NWDSContextHandle; objectName : pnstr8; objectPassword : pnstr8; pwdOption : nflag32 ) : NWDSCCODE;
(IN) Specifies the NDS context for the request.
(IN) Points to the name of the object to update.
(IN) Points to the object password in ASCII text format.
(IN) Specifies the password to operate on. Select from the following:
0x0000 0000 |
SUCCESSFUL |
nonzero value |
Nonzero values indicate errors. See |
If no password is desired, objectPassword should point to a zero-length string ("").
If an application has a local copy of any password value, the value should be erased as soon as possible to prevent compromising the security of the password.
An object must have rights to modify an object's password attributes before the NWDSGenerateObjectKeyPair function will succeed.
The NT_PASSWORD option only works if the eDirectory for NT product has been installed. If this flag is passed in as the value for the pwdOption parameter and the eDirectory for NT product has not been installed, an error is returned.
If the ALL_PASSWORDS option is set, the NDS_PASSWORD operation is performed first. If successful, other password operations are attempted, but error conditions are not returned for the other operations.
IMPORTANT:NWDSGenerateKeyPairEx supports international and extended characters in passwords and is recommended in place of NWDSGenerateObjectKeyPair.
