Administer resource credentials

A resource credential provides a user ID and password for a single sign-on user-specific resource, such as a Web server or a group of Web servers. The Web resource or group of Web resources must exist before we can apply resource credentials to it.

Resource credential information is stored in the ISAM entry in the user registry.

We can use the administration API to create, modify, examine, and delete resource credentials.

Table 1 lists the methods for administering credentials.
