public class DomainIDPrincipal

extends JAASPrincipal

This class extends the JAASPrincipal class and represents the domain ID the user is currently logged onto. The principal is designed to be used in conjunction with NT domain SID data. The DomainPrincipal class should be used when creating Principals based on recognizable domain names such as "WORKGROUP" or "ibm_dom".

Principals such as this DomainIDPrincipal 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.
