Parameter

Description

value

The IIS password string. The default is no password.

The InternetPassword property is required if SQL Server Compact 3.5 Server Agent is configured to use Basic Authentication or Integrated Windows Authentication.

When you use Basic Authentication, the values of the InternetLogin and InternetPassword properties are passed across the network in clear text form. We recommend that you configure IIS to use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption to safeguard this information. When Integrated Windows Authentication is used, the InternetLogin and InternetPassword values are not passed across the network.
