public abstract class PassiveCredential
extends Credential
implements PassiveCredential

A PassiveCredential is simply a container for an user's secret. The portlet extracts the secret out of the credential and does all the authentication (communication) at the backend itself.
This credential type is a fallback for those cases in which no active credential is provided (e.g. because the backend's authentication protocol is too specific). Preconditions:

• The configuration data passed to the constructor must define following values: KEY_USER_SECRET

Since:

WP 5.1.0.1
