The InternetPassword property is required if the SQL Server Compact 3.5 Server Agent is configured to use Basic authentication or Integrated Windows Authentication. When Integrated Windows Authentication is used, the InternetPassword property value is not passed across the network.
When you use Basic authentication, we recommend that you configure IIS to use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption to safeguard the user password. If you cannot use SSL encryption, Basic authentication transmits passwords across the network in clear text form. This is unsafe. We strongly recommend that you always use SSL encryption to safeguard passwords when you use Basic authentication.
