  • Article

3/26/2014

This function retrieves the current state of the password.

Note   The default Local Authentication Plugin (LAP) blocks the usage of the SetPasswordActive and the CheckPassword functions. Applications should not use these functions for authenticating the user. Use the VerifyUser and the CreateEnrollmentConfigDialog functions instead.

Syntax

BOOL GetPasswordActive(void);

Parameters

None.

Return Value

TRUE indicates that an active password exists in the system. Otherwise, FALSE is returned.

Remarks

If TRUE is returned, use the CheckPassword function to verify the password before allowing further use of the system.

To use this function, you must include the password component, Fspass, in the Cesysgen.bat file.

For a sample usage of this function, see the files in %_WINCEROOT%\Public\Common\Oak\Drivers\Startui.
