AI_USER_CHECK_PASSWORD To Not Log Value

[Collins]

Hello,

I have a project that uses the built in CheckUserCredentails custom action. I recently noticed that in the log file when AI_USER_CHECK_PASSWORD runs, it places all the values in the log, even the password.

AI_USER_CHECK_PASSWORD1AI_USER_IGNORE_FULLNAME1AI_USER_IGNORE_MSI1AI_USER_IS_GROUPDOMAIN_NAMEUSER_NAMEserviceUSER_PASSWORDpassword'.

The USER_PASSWORD prop has the hide property attribute set. Can this be changed so that it doesn't log value of USER_PASSWORD when that custom action validates the password?

Hello Les,

If possible, could you please give me a test-case which I can use to reproduce this on my end, as the scenario is not quite clear for me?

Best regards,
Catalin

Hi Catalin,

I have emailed you and attached the log, AIP and the steps used by the end user.

Hello Les,

After further investigations, it seems we were able to find a workaround for this issue.

In order to hide that property from the log file, we can make use of the "MsiHiddentProperties" property.

Basically, we can append the CustomActionData property to the MsiHiddenProperties and it will no longer be displayed in the log file.

Thank you for the workaround Catalin. I will apply it to the projects that use that dialog.
