@FunctionalInterface public interface CredentialsResolver<A extends Credentials>

A credentials resolver is used to resolve credentials identified by a unique identifier from a trusted source.

An Authenticator implementation can rely on a credentials resolver to resolve trusted credentials and compare them to the credentials provided by an entity using a CredentialsMatcher during the authentication process. As a result, resolved credentials must come from trusted secured sources.
