Credential Provider

Overview​

Typically, when we need to access some service, we need to be properly authenticated and authorized. For this purpose we need to provide information to the service that can be used for this purpose. This is the purpose of the Credential Provider that defines the credential and its properties that are needed to securely access required service.

How it works​

The Credential Provider defines specific configuration of the credentials that can be used across the platform for authentication and authorization.
