Interface AlgorithmUpgradeCredentialPasswordEncoder

All Superinterfaces:

CredentialPasswordEncoder

public interface AlgorithmUpgradeCredentialPasswordEncoder
extends CredentialPasswordEncoder

AlgorithmUpgradeCredentialPasswordEncoder which is provided with the InternalCredential as well to allow for migrating between two different encoding schemes.

The extended encode method is *only* called in the context of validating an existing (old) password, and not used for creating or updating to a new password directl!

After successfull authentication, the recodeIfNeeded method will be called allowing to migrate to the new encryption scheme.
