Interface ICredentials

All Known Implementing Classes:

Credentials

public interface ICredentials

Credentials object representing login/password information. A credentials object has a (workflow-global) unique identifier. Node implementations do not save credentials as part of their settings or internals but only the identifier. The saving of the corresponding login (and possibly) password information is responsibility of the workflow/framework, whereby passwords are not saved by default (but prompted for on restart).
