After successful authentication, a user java.security.Principal can be associated with a particular javax.security.auth.Subject to augment that Subject with an additional identity.

This class implements the Principal interface and represents the name of the Windows NT domain into which the user authenticated.

This class abstracts an NT security token and provides a mechanism to do same-process security impersonation.

This class implements the Principal interface and represents information about a Windows NT user, group or realm.

Windows NT chooses to represent users, groups and realms (or domains) with not only common names, but also relatively unique numbers.

This class extends NTSid and represents a Windows NT user's domain SID.

An NT user only has a domain SID if in fact they are logged into an NT domain.

This class extends NTSid and represents one of the groups to which a Windows NT user belongs.

Principals such as this NTSidGroupPrincipal may be associated with a particular Subject to augment that Subject with an additional identity.

This class extends NTSid and represents a Windows NT user's primary group SID.

Principals such as this NTSidPrimaryGroupPrincipal may be associated with a particular Subject to augment that Subject with an additional identity.

This class extends NTSid and represents a Windows NT user's SID.

Principals such as this NTSidUserPrincipal may be associated with a particular Subject to augment that Subject with an additional identity.

This class implements the Principal interface and represents a Windows NT user.

Principals such as this NTUserPrincipal may be associated with a particular Subject to augment that Subject with an additional identity.

This object stores the policy for entire Java runtime, and is the amalgamation of multiple static policy configurations that resides in files. The algorithm for locating the policy file(s) and reading their information into this Policy object is:

1. Loop through the java.security.Security properties, auth.policy.url.1, auth.policy.url.2, ..., auth.policy.url.X".

The comparison is achieved via the implies method. The implementation of the implies method determines whether this object "implies" the specified Subject. One example application of this method may be for a "group" object to imply a particular Subject if that Subject belongs to the group. Another example application of this method would be for "role" object to imply a particular Subject if that Subject is currently acting in that role.

Although classes that implement this interface typically also implement the java.security.Principal interface, it is not required.

This class implements the Principal interface and represents a user's Solaris group identification number (GID).

Principals such as this SolarisNumericGroupPrincipal may be associated with a particular Subject to augment that Subject with an additional identity.

This class implements the Principal interface and represents a user's Solaris identification number (UID).

Principals such as this SolarisNumericUserPrincipal may be associated with a particular Subject to augment that Subject with an additional identity.

This class implements the Principal interface and represents a Solaris user.

Principals such as this SolarisPrincipal may be associated with a particular Subject to augment that Subject with an additional identity.

This SubjectCodeSource class contains a URL, signer certificates, and either a Subject (that represents the Subject in the current AccessControlContext), or a linked list of Principals/PrincipalComparators (that represent a "subject" in a Policy).

This class implements the Principal interface and represents a user's Unix group identification number (GID).

Principals such as this UnixNumericGroupPrincipal may be associated with a particular Subject to augment that Subject with an additional identity.

This class implements the Principal interface and represents a user's Unix identification number (UID).

Principals such as this UnixNumericUserPrincipal may be associated with a particular Subject to augment that Subject with an additional identity.

This class implements the Principal interface and represents a Unix user.

Principals such as this UnixPrincipal may be associated with a particular Subject to augment that Subject with an additional identity.

After successful authentication, a user java.security.Principal can be associated with a particular javax.security.auth.Subject to augment that Subject with an additional identity.

This class represents an X.500 Principal. X500Principals have names such as, "CN=Duke, OU=JavaSoft, O=Sun Microsystems, C=US" (RFC 1779 style).

Principals such as this X500Principal may be associated with a particular Subject to augment that Subject with an additional identity.
