GenericCredential (Java EE 5 SDK)

javax.resource.spi.security Interface GenericCredential

public interface GenericCredential

The interface javax.resource.spi.security.GenericCredential defines a security mechanism independent interface for accessing security credential of a resource principal.

The GenericCredential interface provides a Java wrapper over an underlying mechanism specific representation of a security credential. For example, the GenericCredential interface can be used to wrap Kerberos credentials.

The connector architecture does not define any standard format and requirements for security mechanism specific credentials. For example, a security credential wrapped by a GenericCredential interface can have a native representation specific to an operating system.

The GenericCredential interface enables a resource adapter to extract information about a security credential. The resource adapter can then manage EIS sign-on for a resource principal by either:

• using the credentials in an EIS specific manner if the underlying EIS supports the security mechanism type represented by the GenericCredential instance, or,
• using GSS-API if the resource adapter and underlying EIS instance support GSS-API.

Subject, Principal

getName

String getName()

Deprecated. 

Returns the name of the resource principal associated with a GenericCredential instance.

返回:

Name of the principal

getMechType

String getMechType()

Deprecated. 

Returns the mechanism type for the GenericCredential instance. The mechanism type definition for GenericCredential should be consistent with the Object Identifier (OID) based representation specified in the GSS specification. In the GenericCredential interface, the mechanism type is returned as a stringified representation of the OID specification.

返回:

mechanism type

getCredentialData

byte[] getCredentialData()
                         throws SecurityException

Deprecated. 

Gets security data for a specific security mechanism represented by the GenericCredential. An example is authentication data required for establishing a secure association with an EIS instance on behalf of the associated resource principal.

The getCredentialData method returns the credential representation as an array of bytes. Note that the connector architecture does not define any standard format for the returned credential data.

返回:

credential representation as an array of bytes.

抛出异常:

SecurityException - Failed operation due to security related error condition

equals

boolean equals(Object another)

Deprecated. 

Tests if this GenericCredential instance refers to the same entity as the supplied object. The two credentials must be acquired over the same mechanisms and must refer to the same principal. Returns true if the two GenericCredentials refer to the same entity; false otherwise.

重写:

equals in class Object

hashCode

int hashCode()

Deprecated. 

Returns the hash code for this GenericCredential

重写:

hashCode in class Object

返回:

hash code for this GenericCredential
