Package com.ibm.portal.portlet.service.credentialvault.spi Description

This package defines the Credential Vault SPI. The Credential Vault stores the users secrets that are required by a portlet for accessing protected applications. The vault can be partitioned into multiple segments. Each segment is configured with a vault adapter that maps the logical representation of the vault to an actual implementation. A vault adapter is a plug-in to provide the Credential Vault service access to a certain credential repository. The default implementation of the vault uses a relational database, the WebSphere Portal database.

With this SPI WebSphere Portal provides the possibility to write a custom vault adapter to use credentials stored in your own store in the WebSphere Portal environment.
