Method Summary | |
public static Subject | createSubject(GSSName principals, GSSCredential credentials) Use this method to convert a GSSName and GSSCredential into a
Subject. |
createSubject | public static Subject createSubject(GSSName principals, GSSCredential credentials)(Code) | | Use this method to convert a GSSName and GSSCredential into a
Subject. Typically this would be done by a server that wants to
impersonate a client thread at the Java level by setting a client
Subject in the current access control context. If the server is merely
interested in using a principal based policy in its local JVM, then
it only needs to provide the GSSName of the client.
The elements from the GSSName are placed in the principals set of this
Subject and those from the GSSCredential are placed in the private
credentials set of the Subject. Any Kerberos specific elements that
are added to the subject will be instances of the standard Kerberos
implementation classes defined in javax.security.auth.kerberos.
a Subject with the entries that contain elements from thegiven GSSName and GSSCredential. Parameters: principals - a GSSName containing one or more mechanism specific representations of the same entity. These mechanism specific representations will be populated in the returned Subject's principal set. Parameters: credentials - a GSSCredential containing one or more mechanism specific credentials for the same entity. These mechanism specific credentials will be populated in the returned Subject's privatecredential set. Passing in a value of null will imply that the private credential set should be left empty. |
