| <div class="block">The interface <code>javax.resource.spi.security.GenericCredential</code> |
| defines a security mechanism independent interface for accessing |
| security credential of a resource principal. |
| |
| <p>The <code>GenericCredential</code> interface provides a Java |
| wrapper over an underlying mechanism specific representation of |
| a security credential. For example, the <code>GenericCredential</code> |
| interface can be used to wrap Kerberos credentials. |
| |
| <p>The connector architecture does not define any standard format |
| and requirements for security mechanism specific credentials. For |
| example, a security credential wrapped by a GenericCredential |
| interface can have a native representation specific to an operating |
| system. |
| |
| <p>The GenericCredential interface enables a resource adapter to |
| extract information about a security credential. The resource adapter |
| can then manage EIS sign-on for a resource principal by either: |
| <UL> |
| <LI>using the credentials in an EIS specific manner if the underlying |
| EIS supports the security mechanism type represented by the |
| GenericCredential instance, or, |
| <LI>using GSS-API if the resource adapter and underlying EIS |
| instance support GSS-API. |
