# storeCredentials(forBorderAgent:activeOperationalDataSet:completion:)

Stores Thread network credentials into the framework database that a Border Agent provides.

## Declaration

```swift
func storeCredentials(forBorderAgent borderAgentID: Data, activeOperationalDataSet: Data, completion: @escaping @Sendable ((any Error)?) -> Void)
```

```swift
func storeCredentials(forBorderAgent borderAgentID: Data, activeOperationalDataSet: Data) async throws
```

## Parameters

- `borderAgentID`: The identifer of an active Thread network Border Agent.
- `activeOperationalDataSet`: The essential operational parameters for the Thread network.
- `completion`: The completion handler the framework calls after storing the credentials.

## Discussion

Discussion important: You can call this method from synchronous code using a completion handler, as shown on this page, or you can call it as an asynchronous method that has the following declaration: func storeCredentials(forBorderAgent borderAgentID: Data, activeOperationalDataSet: Data) async throws For information about concurrency and asynchronous code in Swift, see Calling Objective-C APIs Asynchronously. The Border Agent is the software component running in the Thread Border Router responsible for advertising itself in the Wi-Fi or Ethernet network. The framework only stores credentials if it can find an mDNS record for the Border Agent that contains the specified Border Agent identifier. Call the method as follows: func saveCredentials(borderAgentID: Data, activeOperationalDataSet: Data) async -> (Error?) {     let client = THClient()     var err:Error?     do {         err = try await client.storeCredentials(forBorderAgent: borderAgentID, activeOperationalDataSet: activeOperationalDataSet) as? Error     } catch {         err = error     }     return (err) }
