Thread: [Beepcore-java-users] Question about SessionCredential

Could someone tell me what the role of SessionCredential is in the Java
beepcore library? In particular, is it intended as a means of providing
credentials to a session that can be used by a client-peer when
initiating a session/channel? Or is it just a means of reporting
credentials that were obtained some other way when a session/channel was
initiated?

I'm trying to write a SASL/DIGEST-MD5 profile and am struggling a little
with the contracts between some classes in the API.

SessionCredential was suppose to be a generic mechanism used by tuning
profiles for storing credential information once authentication
finished. At the time we didn't know about the Subject/Principal classes
which is what we should have used. I would like to change to using
Subject/Principal instead but I haven't had the time to verify what is
available in the 1.2 jdk.
