Class UserPass

java.lang.Object

uk.ac.starlink.auth.UserPass

public class UserPass
extends java.lang.Object

Aggregates a username and password. The password is supplied, and should ideally be always manipulated, as an array of characters rather than a String for security reasons, following practice elsewhere in the J2SE. However the difference between using char[] and String is not all that great.
