Method Detail

getPassword

public static final char[] getPassword(String key)

Get the password associated with the key.

Parameters:

key - is a unique id associated with the password lookup.

Returns:

the stored password for the given key or null if one can not be found.

setPassword

public static final char[] setPassword(String key,
                                       String seed)

Create a password associated with the given key. Since setPassword is not idempotent, subsequent calls to setPassword with the same key and seed will not generate the same password.

Parameters:

key - is a unique id associated with the password lookup.

seed - will be used in conjunction with an internally generated seed for generating the random password. If the seed is null then the system will create a pseudorandom seed on behalf of the caller.

clearPassword

public static final void clearPassword(String key)

Clear the password associated with the given key.

Parameters:

key - is a unique id associated with the password lookup.
