CredentialRef

open class CredentialRef : Disposable, AutoCloseable, CredentialRefInterface(source)

A reference to a credential which has been persisted in CC.

This is because credentials can be quite large; we'd really like to avoid passing them back and forth across the FFI boundary more than is strictly required. Therefore, we use this type which is substantially more compact.

Created with crate::CoreCryptoContext::add_credential.

This reference is not a literal reference in memory. It is instead the key from which a credential can be retrieved. This means that it is stable over time and across the FFI boundary.

Constructors

CredentialRef

constructor(pointer: Pointer)

constructor(noPointer: NoPointer)

This constructor can be used to instantiate a fake object. Only used for tests. Any attempt to actually use an object constructed this way will fail as there is no connected Rust object.
