Returns this authentication in a form that will work with handle system administration.

cloneAuthentication

public AbstractAuthentication cloneAuthentication()

The following must be implemented by subclasses of AbstractAuthentication in order to provide a copy of themselves for the purposes of authenticating when retrieving their credentials. The returned object will have the autoRetrieveCredentials option turned off when retrieving the credentials in order to avoid a recursive loop when authenticating with the server that holds the credentials.

Specified by:
