How to hide a password and to be able to get connected to the a SharePoint Library

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 65

Hi everyone,

I'm developping for CRM 2011 and I have to get the files in a SharePoint library. I'm able to get the files, but my problem is to hide the password in the code.

here my code :

    string password = "password";
    SecureString securePassword = new SecureString();
    for (int g = 0; g < password.Length; g++)
      securePassword.AppendChar(password[g]);
    ClientContext ctx = new ClientContext(url);
    ctx.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("login", securePassword, "Foo");

    return ctx;

I also tried with  ctx.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials; but the user don't have the rights for the SharePoint Library.

Anyone has a solution to hide the password?

Thanks!

    You could store the password details in an encrypted state and then decrypt/encrypt them as needed.

    .NET has some encryption stuff in it, the link below might point you in the right direction

    If you are accessing SharePoint via a plugin you can also look storing the password in the plugin's secure configuration.
