    public interface PassiveCredential

extends Credential

A passive credential 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 init method must define following values: KEY_USER_SECRET

Since:
  5.1.0.1
