public interface ActiveCredential
- extends Credential
An Active Credential hides the user's secret from the portlet and does all
the authentication (communication) for the portlet.
Some of these credentials might provide login() and logout() methods
(e.g. HttpFormBasedAuthenticationCredential) but some won't because the protocol doesn't support
it (e.g. HttpBasicAuthCredential).
However, all subclasses will usually provide a getAuthenticatedConnection method
that will be used by the portlet to get authenticated backend connections to work with.

- 5.1.0.1
