C++ API Lazy password

[narek hovhannisyan]

Hi,

I am implementing a simple command line encrypted filesystem with c++ API. I want to implement a lazy password with following logic but having some troubles. Hope you can help me :)

- When user opens a drive for a first time i want to show a simple Qt5 input dialog for a password but as dokan operations work with many threads i am not able to show a dialog for example from CreateFile operation and block the all oprations until user will provide a correct password for filesystem. Is it possible to implement such logic?

Regards,

Narek.

Hi,

It is not a good idea to block / delay for an unknown elapse of time any type of requests, especially creates. You could probably do the authentication before calling mount.

Another option would be to mount as a network storage and use the native authentication feature
