Class AuthPermission

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Guard


    public final class AuthPermission
    extends BasicPermission
    This class is for authentication permissions. An AuthPermission contains a name (also referred to as a "target name") but no actions list; you either have the named permission or you don't.

    The target name is the name of a security configuration parameter (see below). Currently the AuthPermission object is used to guard access to the Policy, Subject, LoginContext, and Configuration objects.

    The possible target names for an Authentication Permission are:

          doAs -                  allow the caller to invoke the
                                   Subject.doAs methods.
    
          doAsPrivileged -        allow the caller to invoke the
                                   Subject.doAsPrivileged methods.
    
          getSubject -            allow for the retrieval of the
                                  Subject(s) associated with the
                                  current Thread.
    
          getSubjectFromDomainCombiner -  allow for the retrieval of the
                                  Subject associated with the
                                  a  SubjectDomainCombiner.
    
          setReadOnly -           allow the caller to set a Subject
                                  to be read-only.
    
          modifyPrincipals -      allow the caller to modify the  Set
                                  of Principals associated with a
                                   Subject
    
          modifyPublicCredentials - allow the caller to modify the
                                   Set of public credentials
                                  associated with a  Subject
    
          modifyPrivateCredentials - allow the caller to modify the
                                   Set of private credentials
                                  associated with a  Subject
    
          refreshCredential -     allow code to invoke the  refresh
                                  method on a credential which implements
                                  the  Refreshable interface.
    
          destroyCredential -     allow code to invoke the  destroy
                                  method on a credential  object
                                  which implements the  Destroyable
                                  interface.
    
          createLoginContext.{name} -  allow code to instantiate a
                                   LoginContext with the
                                  specified name.  name
                                  is used as the index into the installed login
                                   Configuration
                                  (that returned by
                                   Configuration.getConfiguration()).
                                  name can be wildcarded (set to '*')
                                  to allow for any name.
    
          getLoginConfiguration - allow for the retrieval of the system-wide
                                  login Configuration.
    
          createLoginConfiguration.{type} - allow code to obtain a Configuration
                                  object via
                                   Configuration.getInstance.
    
          setLoginConfiguration - allow for the setting of the system-wide
                                  login Configuration.
    
          refreshLoginConfiguration - allow for the refreshing of the system-wide
                                  login Configuration.
     

    The following target name has been deprecated in favor of createLoginContext.{name}.

          createLoginContext -    allow code to instantiate a
                                   LoginContext.
     

    javax.security.auth.Policy has been deprecated in favor of java.security.Policy. Therefore, the following target names have also been deprecated:

          getPolicy -             allow the caller to retrieve the system-wide
                                  Subject-based access control policy.
    
          setPolicy -             allow the caller to set the system-wide
                                  Subject-based access control policy.
    
          refreshPolicy -         allow the caller to refresh the system-wide
                                  Subject-based access control policy.
