get_Option("iMode") Returns an Empty Variant (306004)

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Passport 2.0
Microsoft Passport 2.1

This article was previously published under Q306004

SYMPTOMS

When a new instance of Passport Manager is created and initialized, m_iModeOption is equal to VT_EMPTY.

CAUSE

iMode is set to FALSE by default. As a result, when get_Option("iMode") is called, an empty variant is returned.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, participating sites that implement Mobile Passport for iMode browsers must issue the following command before AuthURL or LogoTag2 are called:

PPM.Option("iMode") = TRUE;

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

get_Option is a generic application programming interface (API). Before the option is set, you do not have it and the VT_EMPTY return variant is expected.
