# ODRecordSetNodeCredentialsExtended(_:_:_:_:_:_:_:)

Sets node authentication credentials for a record using a specified authentication method.

## Declaration

```swift
func ODRecordSetNodeCredentialsExtended(_ record: ODRecordRef!, _ recordType: String!, _ authType: String!, _ authItems: CFArray!, _ outAuthItems: UnsafeMutablePointer<Unmanaged<CFArray>?>!, _ outContext: UnsafeMutablePointer<Unmanaged<ODContextRef>?>!, _ error: UnsafeMutablePointer<Unmanaged<CFError>?>!) -> Bool
```

## Parameters

- `record`: The record.
- `recordType`: The record type that uses the credentials. Can be NULL. The default value is kODRecordTypeUsers.
- `authType`: The type of authentication to use.
- `authItems`: An array of CFString or CFData objects to be used in the authentication process.
- `outAuthItems`: An array of CFData objects returned from the authentication process, if any are returned; NULL otherwise.
- `outContext`: The proper context if the authentication attempt requires a context; NULL otherwise. If not NULL, then more calls must be made with the Context to continue the authentication.
- `error`: An error reference for error details. Can be NULL.

## Return Value

Return Value true if no error occurs; otherwise, false.

## Discussion

Discussion If you want to set credentials for all references to a node, use ODNodeSetCredentialsExtended(_:_:_:_:_:_:_:) instead.
