Property Value

A SecureString value.

Remarks

The SecureDtsPackagePassword property provides additional security for the password while it is stored in memory and should be used instead of DtsPackagePassword.

When possible, prompt users to enter security credentials at run time. If you must store credentials, use the cryptographic services provided by the Microsoft Windows .NET Framework.

The password is never returned by SecureDtsPackagePassword.

The SecureDtsPackagePassword property can only be set by members of the sysadmin fixed server role or by members of the db_owner fixed database role.

Setting SecureDtsPackagePassword is equivalent to executing sp_addpushsubscription_agent (Transact-SQL) or sp_change_subscription_properties (Transact-SQL).

The SecureDtsPackagePassword property is available with SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005.

This namespace, class, or member is supported only in version 2.0 of the .NET Framework.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Microsoft Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
