Set App Pool Password with <APP_POOL_PW>

[Aaron_Barnett]

Hi, im using 2010

Im Creating a Application Pool with a Specific User - The Install allows the user to choose a name / password

The InstallScript sets the variables
TextSubSetValue ( "", szUser, FALSE );
TextSubSetValue ( "", szPassword, FALSE )

but when i paste into IIS view -> Application pool -> SpecificUser Password it comes up as ******************

will this still work? - or will the password end up being: ""?

I think that asterisks are used to in place of all of the passwords that are entered anywhere in the IIS view, but that replacement happens just in the IIS view--not at run time. If you search in the Direct Editor, you'll probably see your entry in the ISIISProperty table. The variable substitution should work as expected at run time.
