Interface CredentialsProvider

public interface CredentialsProvider

This interface should be implemented by classes that provide mappings between Spotfire users and data source (database) username/password credentials.

For data sources that use other types of authentication than username/password please consider implementing a CustomCredentialsProvider instead.

An implementation of this class can be specified using the information-services.ds.credentials-provider configuration property.

Implementations of this interface must be thread-safe and reentrant.
