Password Property

A logon password for the NewsServer .

Syntax

 nntp.getPassword([callback])
 nntp.setPassword( password, [callback])

Default Value

""


Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for the getPassword([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setPassword([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This property contains a logon password for the NewsServer. If this property is set to a non-empty string, then when connecting to the NewsServer an AUTHINFO PASS command is sent in order to provide authentication information for the user. This command is not part of the NNTP protocol, but it is widely used by popular news servers.
