Class SecretManagerProvider

java.lang.Object

org.gcube.common.security.providers.SecretManagerProvider

public class SecretManagerProvider
extends Object

Provides a thread-safe way to manage and access a Secret object within the current execution thread.

This class uses an InheritableThreadLocal to ensure that a secret set in a parent thread is automatically inherited by any child threads that are created, which is crucial for managing authorization contexts in asynchronous or multi-threaded environments.
