| Summary : Abstraction of a credential
|
Description :
This module offers abstractions of credentials, i.e. something that can be
used to authenticate. It allows the creation and manipulation of
credentials. In particular, it defines a standard string representation (so
that credentials can be given to external programs as command line
options), a standard structured representation (so that credentials can be
stored in structured configuration files or using JSON) and \"preparators\"
that can transform credentials into ready-to-use data for well known
targets.
Different authentication schemes (aka credential types) are supported. This
package currently supports \'none\', \'plain\' and \'x509\' but others can be
added by providing the supporting code in a separate module.
A Python implementation of the same credential abstractions is available at
https://github.com/cern-mig/python-auth-credential so credentials can be
shared between different programming languages.
For a given scheme, a credential is represented by an object with a fixed
set of string attributes. For instance, the \'plain\' scheme has two
attributes: \'name\' and \'pass\'. More information is provided by the scheme
specific module, for instance Authen::Credential::plain.
