All Implemented Interfaces:
ActiveCredential, Credential, java.io.Serializable
Direct Known Subclasses:
BinaryCredential, JaasSubjectCredential, UserPasswordCredential
Deprecated. since 6.0. Support of the IBM portlet API may be removed in a future release of WebSphere Portal. Use of the Java Portlet API (javax.portlet) is recommended instead. 

public abstract class ActiveCredential
extends Credential
implements ActiveCredential

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.

Since:
WP 5.1.0.1
