12Disclosed to others for any other purpose.
vFriendlyName Optional. String that specifies the display name of the party requesting access to private information. For security reasons, it is not sufficient for the user agent to show this display name to the user. In addition to display name, the user agent must display the URL that originates the script requesting profile access. If this script originates from a secure connection (for example, SSL), the Web author can use the SSL certificate to reliably identify the party requesting access.
vDomain Optional. String that specifies the pages that the user's choice applies to in the future, in addition to the current page. The specification follows the cookie standard. See RFC-2109 Non-Microsoft link.
vPath Optional. String that specifies the path to the domain server requesting access. When vExpiration is set, the path is saved with the requested attributes.
vExpiration Optional. Variant that specifies the amount of time the site has requested access to these attributes. This is currently ignored by Microsoft® Internet Explorer.
vReserved Optional. This parameter is reserved.

Return Value

No return value.

Remarks

If the site does not have read access, the user is prompted with a list of requested attributes and can choose to allow or deny access.
