ICredentialProvider interface

Warning

This API is now deprecated.

Use ConfigurationBotFrameworkAuthentication instead to configure credentials. CredentialProvider interface. This interface allows Bots to provide their own implementation of what is, and what is not, a valid appId and password. This is useful in the case of multi-tenant bots, where the bot may need to call out to a service to determine if a particular appid/password pair is valid.

For Single Tenant bots (the vast majority) the simple static providers are sufficient.
