# ODRecordSetNodeCredentials(_:_:_:_:)

Sets node authentication credentials for a given record.

## Declaration

```swift
func ODRecordSetNodeCredentials(_ record: ODRecordRef!, _ username: CFString!, _ password: CFString!, _ error: UnsafeMutablePointer<Unmanaged<CFError>?>!) -> Bool
```

## Parameters

- `record`: The record.
- `username`: The username to use to authenticate with the node.
- `password`: The password to use to authenticate with the node.
- `error`: An error reference for error details. Can be NULL.

## Return Value

Return Value true if the credentials are successfully set; otherwise, false.

## Discussion

Discussion If you want to set credentials for all references to a node, use ODNodeSetCredentials(_:_:_:_:_:) instead. If this function fails, the previous credentials are used.
