Credentials. The Credential class represents an abstract mechanism for checking authentication credentials. A credential instance either represents a secret, or some data that could only be derived from knowing the secret.

Often a Credential is related to a Password via a one way algorithm, so while a Password itself is a Credential, a UnixCrypt or MD5 digest of a a password is only a credential that can be checked against the password.

This class includes an implementation for unix Crypt an MD5 digest.

Check a credential
Params:

Returns:True if the credentials indicated that the shared secret is known to both this Credential and the passed credential.

Get a credential from a String. If the credential String starts with a known Credential type (eg "CRYPT:" or "MD5:" ) then a Credential of that type is returned. Otherwise, it tries to find a credential provider whose prefix matches with the start of the credential String. Else the credential is assumed to be a Password.
Params:

Returns:A Credential or Password instance.
