Is there a freely accessible credential storage environment for Java?
I have a desktop application that should store user credentials for external systems.
I'm just wondering if anyone already has a framework to make this easy.
You can use encrypted settings, see this answer . Yes, indeed, just click on this link and you will be amazed. (This last sentence has been added to make the answer long enough so that it is not turned into a comment). :-p
There is a Credential Store Framework (CSF) with the Java API provided by Oracle.
