DESCRIPTION

The Authen::PAAS::Credential module represents a credential for an authenticated subject. A credential is merely an abstract token generated during the authentication process. This module would be subclassed by Authen::PAAS::LoginModule implementations to provide module specific data.

METHODS

$cred = Authen::PAAS::Credential->new(name => $name);

Create a new credential assigning it the name given by the name parameter to the method. This constructor is usually only used by sub-classes.

$name = $cred->name;
