ExportEntityKey

ExportEntityKey is a separate method because it creates a new connection just to transfer the logon credentials to the server. This preventing any brute force attack on the keys as it is too small for any cipher encrypted and decrypted pair. 
unsigned int ExportEntityKey(
	int version,
	unsigned int entityID,
	const char *oldPassword,
	const char *newPassword,
	const char *keyDirectory,
	short language,
	pCallbackRoutine connectionHandler,
	void* object
);

Parameters

version This is the key version, 0 will use the default version for this compilation, currently it is 2 for 256bit AES.
entityID The entity ID for the user.
oldPassword If the current logon user does not have control power of the entity in entityID, then the password of the user must be given.
newPassword  
keyDirectory If the first four bytes is ".key" then buffer contains the texas key, otherwise the key is the key path directory
language Used for error messages from the server about the connection.
connectionHandler Used by the server to return infomation about the connection.
objectID Returned to the connectionHandler.

Return Values

If the method succeeds, the return value is zero else see error codes for more details.

Remarks
