Interface ISVNAuthenticationStorage

public interface ISVNAuthenticationStorage

The ISVNAuthenticationStorage interface is used to implement custom runtime authentication storage managers, that are responsible for caching user credentials as well as for retrieving cached credentials from the storage of a preferable type (it may be an in-memory cache, or a disk cache).

To make an authentication manager use your custom auth storage manager, provide it to the setRuntimeStorage() method of the authentication manager.

A default implementation of ISVNAuthenticationStorage (that comes along with a default implementation of ISVNAuthenticationManager - org.tmatesoft.svn.core.internal.wc.DefaultSVNAuthenticationManager) caches credentials only in the memory (not in the filesystem) during runtime. This feature is handy especially when on-disk caching is disabled in the standard config file (option "store-auth-creds" is "no").
