CZERTAINLY Common Credential Provider

This repository is part of the commercial open-source project CZERTAINLY. You can find more information about the project at CZERTAINLY repository, including the contribution guide.

Common Credential Provider is the implementation of basic Credential Kinds and validation interfaces. This Connector provides options to add the Credential to the Core which can be used within other objects in the platform for authentication and authorization purposes.

Credentials provided by the Common Credential Provider are not involved in the platform authentication and authorization process.

Common Credential Provider implement the following credential Kinds:

• Basic (Username and Password)
• API Key
• Software KeyStore (i.e., certificate related authentication)

Short Process Description

The Credential can be created and added to the Core based on their Kind. Selecting the specific Kind of Credential and providing the necessary information is the first step in the process. When the Connector or other platform object requests the specific Kind of the Credential implemented in this Credential Provider, it will provide its values.

To know more about the Core, refer to CZERTAINLY Core.
