Class RoleCredential

  • public class RoleCredential
extends java.lang.Object
    RoleCredential implements a password based credential for a role. RoleCredential includes the credential (e.g. password) and optionally the host information for which the password is used to authenticate the RolePrincipal. RoleCredential should be used in conjunction with the RolePrincipal instance. This should only be used when a client is assuming a role on a WBEM Server that requires a password.
