AI-generated Key Takeaways
-
The
Callback
interface enables secure communication between security services and applications for authentication data. -
Callback
implementations act as intermediaries, passing requests and responses between security services and applications without directly handling sensitive information. -
Applications utilize
CallbackHandler
to process and respond to these requests, facilitating tasks such as password retrieval or displaying messages.
Known Indirect Subclasses |
Implementations of this interface are passed to a
CallbackHandler
, allowing underlying security services
the ability to interact with a calling application to retrieve specific
authentication data such as usernames and passwords, or to display
certain information, such as error and warning messages.
Callback
implementations do not retrieve or
display the information requested by underlying security services.
Callback
implementations simply provide the means
to pass such requests to applications, and for applications,
if appropriate, to return requested information back to the
underlying security services.
