No, I don't think I will.
However, since you wrote your own CredentialHandler, you could merely
patch it to check in the matches() method for null. Something like this:
@Override
public boolean matches(String inputCredentials,
String storedCredentials) {
if(null == storedCredentials)
return false;
return matchesSaltIterationsEncoded(inputCredentials,
storedCredentials);
}
Then you can resume your testing.
