> In several places in the API, `SecurityFactory<Credential>` is used, but its bound is too strict, disallowing passing in specific instances, e.g. `SecurityFactory<GSSKerberosCredential>`.
> These should all be replaced with `SecurityFactory<? extends Credential>`.
> An example of code that doesn't work:
> {code:java}
> SecurityFactory<GSSKerberosCredential> ksf = ...;
> CredentialSource cs = CredentialSource.fromSecurityFactory(ksf); // Compiler error: required SecurityFactory<Credential> provided SecurityFactory<GSSCredential>
> {code}
> Similar issue in the following method:
> {code:java}
> MechanismConfiguration.setServerCredential(SecurityFactory<Credential> credentialFactory)
> {code}
