Class CredentialsSnapshotTaker<C extends Credentials>

java.lang.Object

com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.CredentialsSnapshotTaker<C>

All Implemented Interfaces:

ExtensionPoint

public abstract class CredentialsSnapshotTaker<C extends Credentials>
extends Object
implements ExtensionPoint

Some credential types can store some of the credential details in a file outside of Jenkins. Taking a snapshot of the credential ensures that all the details are captured within the credential. For example CertificateCredentialsImpl can use different keystores implementations to hold the certificate. Calling snapshot(Credentials) resolve the actual source into a source like CertificateCredentialsImpl.UploadedKeyStoreSource which is self contained.
