Class NTSid
- java.lang.Object
com.ibm.security.auth.NTSid
- public class NTSid
- extends java.lang.Object
- implements java.security.Principal, java.io.Serializable
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. These numbers are called Security IDentifiers, or SIDs. Windows NT also provides services that render these SIDs into string forms. This class represents these string forms.
Principals such as this NTSid
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 JAASPrincipal
in future releases of JAAS.
