getPassword Method

This method returns clear-text password for authentication. Password retrieval is optional.

java.lang.String getPassword(
                    javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest req,
                    javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse res)
                    throws java.lang.Exception

The req parameter identifies the HTTP request that carries the information that is used to determine the password. The res parameter is not used (preset for backward compatibility).
