Re: [aether-users] dealing with encrypted passwords

Thank you, Benjamin.

I was confused by SecretAuthentication javadoc, which appears to suggest
there is something in Aether to deal with encrypted passwords, but I
understand this is not the case now.

Is there an example that shows how to use AuthenticationBuilder and
SecretAuthentication to handle password decryption in application code?

No, the AuthenticationBuilder merely assists in turning already acquired
(cleartext) credentials into an impl of the Authentication interface.

Or am I supposed to implement custom Authentication?

Depends on your exact requirements. You could decrypt the passwords
upfront in the application and pump the decrypted credentials into the
AuthenticationBuilder. You would only need a custom Authentication impl
if you desire to decrypt the credentials on-demand.
