Class LinuxNumericUserPrincipal

  1. java.lang.Object
  2. extended bycom.ibm.security.auth.LinuxNumericUserPrincipal
All implemented interfaces:
java.io.Serializable, java.security.Principal

  1. public class LinuxNumericUserPrincipal
  2. extends java.lang.Object
  3. implements java.security.Principal, java.io.Serializable

This class represents a user's Linux identification number (UID).

Principals such as this LinuxNumericUserPrincipal may be associated with a particular Subject to augment that Subject with an additional identity. Refer to the Subject class for more information on how to achieve this. Authorization decisions can then be based upon the Principals associated with a Subject.

This class will be replaced by <UserIDPrincipal in future releases of JAAS.
