Password Credential Validator

security

PingFederate's reusable password-checking component: given a username and password, a PCV answers valid or invalid against a source such as an LDAP directory - and adapters consume it rather than users meeting it directly.

Factoring validation out of the adapters means the login form and the HTTP Basic challenge can share one PCV, and changing the password source touches one definition.

Also known as: PCV, PCVs, credential validator
