Interface GridSecurityCredentialsProvider

All Known Implementing Classes:

GridSecurityCredentialsBasicProvider

public interface GridSecurityCredentialsProvider

Security credentials provider for specifying security credentials. Security credentials used for client or node authentication.

For grid node, security credentials provider is specified in GridConfiguration.setSecurityCredentialsProvider(GridSecurityCredentialsProvider) configuration property. For Java clients, you can provide credentials in GridClientConfiguration.setSecurityCredentialsProvider(...) method.

Getting credentials through GridSecurityCredentialsProvider abstraction allows users to provide custom implementations for storing user names and passwords in their environment, possibly in encrypted format. GridGain comes with GridSecurityCredentialsBasicProvider which simply provides the passed in login and password when encryption or custom logic is not required.

In addition to login and password, security credentials allow for specifying userObject as well, which can be used to pass in any additional information required for authentication.
