public final class CredentialCreatorOrRecoverer
extends CMPSoftwareCredentialReader

This credential reader is capable of creating or recovering an Entrust user's Digital Identity in software (not on a PKCS#11 device) using Entrust profile format version 4.

The operation to be performed (user creation or user recovery) is determined automatically based on the user's state. This class performs the services offered by both the CredentialCreator class and the CredentialRecoverer class and can be used in place of either. For additional details on user creation or user recovery, please refer to the class documentation of the aforementioned classes.

Note: This credential reader is not supported with Security Manager version 6.0.1 and earlier; with these older versions the user's state cannot be retrieved over PKIX-CMP.

Since:

8.0
