Uses the cryptographer supplied by the client to encrypt and set a new value for a setting.

Parameters

type

the type of setting (e.g., Admin, Portlet, User)

name

the name of the setting

newValue

the new value to set for this setting

crypto

the cryptographer that should be used to encrypt the setting value

Remarks

To retrieve an encrypted setting, the Portlet must use IPortletRequest.GetEncryptedSettingValue() with the same cryptographer. Note: UserInfo settings cannot be set by a Portlet. For example:

IPortletResponse portletResponse = ...;

byte[] secretKey = new byte[8] { 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 };

byte[] initVector new byte[8] { 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 };

ICryptoTransform cryptoTransform = new DESCryptoServiceProvider().CreateEncryptor(secretKey, initVector);

portletResponse.SetEncryptedSettingValue(SettingType.Admin, "password", "secretpassword",cryptoTransform);

Note that the CreateDecryptor method on the same CryptoServiceProvider should be used to decrypt the value in IPortletRequest.GetEncryptedSettingValue
