                        throws InvalidCredentialException

Description copied from interface: LDAPCredentialEncoder

Given an plain-text password, encodes/encrypts it according to the settings required by the particular directory connector which this encoder is intended to be used with. Return type MUST be either String or byte[].

Specified by:

encodeCredential in interface LDAPCredentialEncoder

Parameters:

passwordCredential - The password credential to be encoded, guanteed to be non-null. If the subclass supports encrypting the given passwordCredential, it should NOT do so if PasswordCredential.isEncryptedCredential() returns true (although it may still encode the credential to the format required by the directory). The value of PasswordCredential.getCredential() is also guaranteed to be non-null.

Returns:

byte[] instead of Object

Throws:

InvalidCredentialException - If the password could not be encoded.
