Writing Your Own FHRdrPwd Module

To register a user-ID and password, your program must call the File Handling Redirector password module supplying a user-ID and password. If you do not want to hard-code this call into your program, you can replace the supplied File Handling Redirector password module with one that obtains the user-ID and password using a different method (for example, via a screen prompt). Your new module must still conform to the File Handling Redirector password module interface, that is:

Function Code	Action
= 1:	Register the supplied user-ID and password
= 0:	Return the user-ID and password. The File Handling Redirector module uses this call to obtain the user-ID and password when it is about to connect to the Fileshare Server.

Once you have written your own File Handling Redirector password module:

Create a cobfhrdrpwd.dll containing your module and ensure it is on the search path, PATH (you can do that by copying the file on the search path).

You can create an object module and link it into any application executable as required.
