"ReadPasswordHardware()" crash smart client

Hello,

“ReadPasswordHardware()” crash the Smart Client if we use a normal user.

With an admin there is no problem and “ReadPasswordHardware” works well.

We have Corporate 2020 R1 running.

How can we use this function with a normal windows user (no admin rights).

Best regards,

Andreas

No, it is not possible to use “ReadPasswordHardware()” if you are a user without appropriate admin right. To allows this would be a security issue, so I do not imagine it will be changed.

Your plugin will need to catch an exception and in a gracious way inform the user that he does not have the necessary permissions.

Ok, in this case it should be possible to get the password in the “Admin” section and over handing this to Smart client via the properties.

I’ll test this…

Many thanks.

We now get the credentials via “TabUserControl” (Admin section) and send it with the properties to the Smart Client.
