Example: A com.ibm.wsspi.security.token.SingleSignonToken implementation

Use this file to see an example of a single sign-on implementation.

The following sample code does not extend an abstract class, but implements the com.ibm.wsspi.security.token.SingleSignonToken interface directly. You can implement the interface directly, but it might cause you to write duplicate code. However, we might choose to implement the interface directly if considerable differences exist between how you handle the various token implementations.

For information on how to implement a custom single sign-on token, see Implement a custom single sign-on token for security attribute propagation.
