Implementers can also check the authentication type to ensure that the * authentication handshake is using a specific authentication method (e.g. SASL) * or avoiding a specific one (e.g. cleartext).

* *

For security reasons, the driver will wipe the contents of the array returned * by this method after it has been used for authentication.

* *

Implementers must provide a new array each time this method is invoked as * the previous contents will have been wiped.

* * @param type The authentication method that the server is requesting * @return The password to use or null if no password is available * @throws PSQLException if something goes wrong supplying the password */ char @Nullable [] getPassword(AuthenticationRequestType type) throws PSQLException; }
