Interface CredentialManager

All Known Implementing Classes:

IfsCredentialManager, OidCredentialManager

public interface CredentialManager

A CredentialManager manages user authentication.

CredentialManagers have varying capabilities. At minimum, a CredentialManger must be able to authenticate users and determine the existence of a user. Some CredentialManagers may also be able to create, delete, or list users and set user passwords.

CredentialManagers do not use the iFS repository's transaction semantic. Operations on CredentialManagers are automically committed.

CredentialManagers must provide a constructor with the following signature: public CredentialManager(String name, S_LibraryService service) throws IfsException, where name is the name used to refer to this CredentialManager in API calls and service is the S_LibraryService to which this CredentialManager belongs.
