Chapter 10. Using the Credential Vault

This chapter provides an overview and a sample scenario for creating a sample portlet application that uses Credential Vault to log in and interact with back-end systems. You will create, deploy and run portlet applications. The sample scenario will allow you to understand the techniques used to develop portlets using the Credential Vault provided by IBM WebSphere Portal.

The development workstation for the sample scenario included in this chapter is illustrated in Figure 10-1.
