using the specified credentials.
Using the MapDrv utility
The following sections provide ways that you can use the MapDrv command.
Displaying encrypted user name and password strings
This function displays the registry key of the network share information where the encrypted user name and
password is stored. Using the /display function will not store the user name and password in the registry.
You need to copy the encrypted user name and password to the appropriate registry key.
mapdrv /view <app id> /user <username> /pwd <password>
Example:
mapdrv /view TVSUAPPLICATION /user temp/pwd password
app id: TVSUAPPLICATION
user: temp
pwd: password
This command captures the encrypted user name and password to set up the repository with UNC path
with authentication.
Storing network share information for a ThinkVantage application
This function stores the network share information in the registry using <tvt> to define the subkey from
the main MapDrv registry key:
