Programming custom credentials for WebSphere® eXtreme Scale Client for .NET

You can specify a user credential for a map. With a user credential on a map, you can have two users interacting with the same data grid through a web application.

1. Set the user credential in the client.properties file.

   credentialAuthentication=required
   authenticationRetryCount=3
   credentialGeneratorAssembly=IBM.WebSphere.Caching.CredentialGenerator, Version=8.6.0.0, 
   Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b439a24ee43b0816
   credentialGeneratorClass=IBM.WebSphere.Caching.Security.UserPasswordCredentialGenerator
   credentialGeneratorProps=manager manager1

2. Add a reference to the IBM.WebSphere.Caching.CredentialGenerator.dll file in your application project.
   This plug-in DLL contains the ICredentialGenerator implementation.
3. Use the ICredentialGenerator APIs in your .NET application.

   //GridManagerFactory.GetGridManager                  
   IGridManager gm = GridManagerFactory.GetGridManager();                  
   //IGridManager.Connect                 
   ICatalogDomainInfo cdi = gm.CatalogDomainManager.CreateCatalogDomainInfo(hostAndPort);                 
   ctx = gm.Connect(cdi, "client.properties");                         
   //IGridManager.GetGrid                  
   IGrid grid = gm.GetGrid( ctx, "Grid");                  
   ICredentialGenerator credGenManager = new UserPasswordCredentialGenerator("manager", "manager1");                 
   ICredentialGenerator credGenOperator = new UserPasswordCredentialGenerator("operator", "operator1");                  
   //IGrid.GetGridMap                     
   IGridMapPessimisticAutoTx<Object, Object> gridMap1  = 
   	grid.GetGridMapPessimisticAutoTx<Object, Object>("Map1", credGenManager);                
   IGridMapPessimisticAutoTx<Object, Object> gridMap2  = 
   	grid.GetGridMapPessimisticAutoTx<Object, Object>("Map1", credGenOperator);
