  org.apache.hadoop.security.authentication.util.SignerSecretProvider

Direct Known Subclasses:

RolloverSignerSecretProvider, StringSignerSecretProvider

@InterfaceStability.Unstable
@InterfaceAudience.Private
public abstract class SignerSecretProvider
extends Object

The SignerSecretProvider is an abstract way to provide a secret to be used by the Signer so that we can have different implementations that potentially do more complicated things in the backend. See the RolloverSignerSecretProvider class for an implementation that supports rolling over the secret at a regular interval.
