Interface GenericCredential

public interface GenericCredential

The interface GenericCredential defines a method of representing a security credential for a resource which is independent of the security mechanism. It can be used to wrap any type of underlying credentials, for example it could be used to wrap Kerberos credentials. This allows the resource adapter to utilize the credentials for sign-on to the EIS.
