This package defines the Credential Vault Portlet Service. WebSphere Portal provides access to the Credential Vault via a portlet service. This service provides to portlets (and to the portal itself, for that matter) an API for mapping from a user identity (usually a user ID, more general a Principal) to another user identity and usually a credential such as a password for that user ID.
Portlets must no longer store user credentials as part of the user specific portlet preferences. Storing credentials in the portlet data is not a recommended way of achieving single sign-on. Such portlets should be migrated so that they make use of the Credential Vault.
Credentials are stored in Credential Slots. It is through a Credential Slot that user secrets are retrieved, created, modified, and deleted. Credential Slots are contained in Vault Segments. A segment can either be managed by the user and administrators, or by administrators only.
