spIterationCount (Property)

In french: mdpsNombreItération

Available only with these kinds of connection

The spIterationCount property is used to:

Get the iteration count of the hash algorithm used for an item of type "Password". This property can be used for items of type "Password" defined in the data model editor or programmatically.
Set the iteration count of the hash algorithm used for an item of type "Password" (only for "Password" items described programmatically).

Example

// Describe the AFile data file
...
// Describe the "Password" item
MyItem is Item Description
MyItem.Name = "Password"
MyItem.Type = hItemSecurePassword
MyItem.spDerivation = SP_PBKDF2
MyItem.spHash = SP_SHA2_256
MyItem.spIterationCount = 20000
MyItem.spLength = 256
// Validate the description of the "Password" item
HDescribeItem(AFile, MyItem)
// Validate the description of the AFile data file
...

Syntax

Getting the iteration count of the hash algorithm used for an item of type "Password" Hide the details

<Iterations> = <Data file>.<Item>.spIterationCount

<Iterations>: Integer

Number of iterations of the hash algorithm used.

<Data file>: Character string

Name of the data file used. This name was defined in the data model editor or with the File Description type.

<Item>: Character string

Name of the item used. This name is defined in the data model editor or with the Item Description type.

Setting the iteration count of the hash algorithm used for an item of type "Password" (described programmatically) Hide the details

<Item>.spIterationCount = <Iterations>

<Item>: Character string

Name of the item used. This name is defined with the Item Description type.

<Iterations>: Integer

Number of iterations of the hash algorithm used. It is recommended to set a value between 10,000 and 30,000
