ICredentials Interface

 

Provides the base authentication interface for retrieving credentials for Web client authentication.

Namespace:   System.Net
Assembly:  System (in System.dll)

public interface class ICredentials

NameDescription
System_CAPS_pubmethodGetCredential(Uri^, String^)

Returns a NetworkCredential object that is associated with the specified URI, and authentication type.

The ICredentials interface provides the GetCredential method to objects that supply network credentials to applications.

The following example illustrates how to use the ICredentials interface.

ref class CredentialList: public ICredentials
{
private:
   ref class CredentialInfo
   {
   public:
      Uri^ uriObj;
      String^ authenticationType;
      NetworkCredential^ networkCredentialObj;
      CredentialInfo( Uri^ uriObj, String^ authenticationType, NetworkCredential^ networkCredentialObj )
      {
         this->uriObj = uriObj;
         this->authenticationType = authenticationType;
         this->networkCredentialObj = networkCredentialObj;
      }
   };

   ArrayList^ arrayListObj;

public:
   CredentialList()
   {
      arrayListObj = gcnew ArrayList;
   }

   void Add( Uri^ uriObj, String^ authenticationType, NetworkCredential^ credential )
   {

      // Add a 'CredentialInfo' object into a list.
      arrayListObj->Add( gcnew CredentialInfo( uriObj,authenticationType,credential ) );
   }

   // Remove the 'CredentialInfo' object from the list that matches to the given 'Uri' and 'AuthenticationType'
   void Remove( Uri^ uriObj, String^ authenticationType )
   {
      for ( int index = 0; index < arrayListObj->Count; index++ )
      {
         CredentialInfo^ credentialInfo = dynamic_cast<CredentialInfo^>(arrayListObj[ index ]);
         if ( uriObj->Equals( credentialInfo->uriObj ) && authenticationType->Equals( credentialInfo->authenticationType ) )
                  arrayListObj->RemoveAt( index );
      }
   }

   virtual NetworkCredential^ GetCredential( Uri^ uriObj, String^ authenticationType )
   {
      for ( int index = 0; index < arrayListObj->Count; index++ )
      {
         CredentialInfo^ credentialInfoObj = dynamic_cast<CredentialInfo^>(arrayListObj[ index ]);
         if ( uriObj->Equals( credentialInfoObj->uriObj ) && authenticationType->Equals( credentialInfoObj->authenticationType ) )
                  return credentialInfoObj->networkCredentialObj;
      }
      return nullptr;
   }
};
