Class PasswordCredentials

java.lang.Object

com.acciente.oacc.PasswordCredentials

All Implemented Interfaces:

Credentials

public abstract class PasswordCredentials
extends Object
implements Credentials

This is a Credentials implementation that may be used by an AuthenticationProvider that provides password-based authentication. The built-in AuthenticationProvider requires that the Credentials object passed be an instance of this class. If you implement a custom password-based AuthenticationProvider, it is recommended that you accept instances of this class, but you are not required to. If you accept instances of this class it allows switching to your implementation from the built-in implementation without any changes in the calling code. .
