Constructor Detail

UALCredentialReader

public UALCredentialReader(java.io.InputStream credentials,
                           java.io.InputStream passwordCache)
                    throws Base64Exception

Creating a UALCredentialReader object allows unattended server processes while the user is logged in.

Creating a UALCredentialReader object decodes the password automatically from the associated secure password storage file ( .ual), and allows unattended server processes while the user is logged in.

Server login should be used only on physically secured machines.

In the User.login method, you have to specify an empty SecureStringBuffer as the password. If you pass in null, you will get a NullPointerException.

Note

If you use StreamProfileReader and StreamProfileWriter objects to read and write to credentials managed by instances of the FileInputStream and FileOutputStream classes, ensure that you read from, and write to, files with different file names to prevent the destruction of the credentials file when you open the output stream.

Parameters:

inputStream - the input stream pointing to the credentials file (.ual)

passwordCache - the input stream pointing to the user's password

Throws:

Base64Exception -
