## com.bea.content.federated
Interface IVirtualRepositoryManager

    public interface IVirtualRepositoryManager

Interface to manage repositories and user credentials while honoring DA rights on the repositories.

For a each repository, credentials can be configured on both a per-user and per-repository basis. Each user can also select whether to use their own repository credentials or the global repository credentials configured on the IRepositoryConfig.

Note: new methods may be added to this interface periodically -- therefore, this not a good CM extension point. The recommended extension point is at the Service Provider Interface, in package com.bea.content.spi

This interface is intended to be implemented only by Oracle Weblogic Portal. Oracle Systems reserves the right to add abstract methods to this interface without notice. Implementations of this interface by other parties must not be expected to compile without change in future versions of Oracle Weblogic Portal.

Field Summary
`static int` | `AUTHENTICATED` The Credentials were successfully authenticated against the Repository.
