public class ServerPrincipal

extends JAASPrincipal

This class extends the JAASPrincipal class and represents the LAN server that validated a user's logon.

Principals such as this ServerPrincipal 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.
