Stop user to change password

[Guest dieter98]

Goal is to secure company data stored on a smartphone.

The Smartphone is given to employees with device password function on.

To stop the user to change pw to a smaller or put password off I will try this:

programmatically test if pw function is on, if not, stop application.

Is there a registry setting for testing this ?

another thing:

writing back password in registry setting or wherever it is stored on application start.

Therefore I need to know where pw for devicelock is stored .

anyone knows ??

or other possibility ??

That seems like a lot of work.

Why not create a high-number speed-dial (say "852") to the "Settings" app, and then remove/Hide "Settings" (and anything else you don't want them playing with) in the Start Menu.

That means they can only access the apps you want them to, but anyone "in the know" can still get to the other bits

App is not shown in start menu, user start it from file manager.

All i want to do is to force him using the device password.

Oh, maybe I wasn't very clear

The user can't change the device password if they can't get into "Settings", so hiding "Settings" from the Start Menu stops them changing it

Your app would not be affected, only the "Settings" option would be hidden

I think this is the only solution.

An app that works in the way I need for PPC dont work on SP.

there are registry settings used on PPC but on SP there are no related .

If I make a backup with spritebackup from 1 SP to another, the password from 1st is set on the 2nd SP.

Is ther a n app for PC that compares bytewise 2 files and shows the differents?

So I can compare backups or registry backups.

I would expect so, but I don't know of one off te top of my head

You might be better off starting a new thread for this, otherwise it might not get noticed
