[C++]

The EnablePAP property gets or sets a Boolean value that indicates whether the Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) can be used for outgoing authentication.

HRESULT get_EnablePAP(
  VARIANT_BOOL* pfEnablePAP
);

HRESULT put_EnablePAP(
  VARIANT_BOOL fEnablePAP
);

Parameters

pfEnablePAP

Pointer to a Boolean variable that is set on return to VARIANT_TRUE if PAP can be used for outgoing authentication, or to VARIANT_FALSE if PAP cannot be used for outgoing authentication.

fEnablePAP

Boolean value that specifies whether PAP can be used for outgoing authentication.

Return Values

These property methods return S_OK if the call is successful; otherwise, they return an error code.

Remarks

This property is read/write. Its default value is VARIANT_FALSE.

When PAP is used for authentication, passwords are sent in plaintext, or unencrypted, form. You should use this authentication protocol only when support for non-Microsoft remote PAP clients is required.

PAP cannot be enabled together with the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), but it can be enabled together with any combination of the other authentication protocols.
