      org.gridlab.gat.security.CredentialSecurityContext

All Implemented Interfaces:

Cloneable

public class CredentialSecurityContext
extends SecurityContext

A container for security Information based upon credentials stored in an object. Such an object can be the credential itself (e.g. a GSSCredential for Globus) or an object representation that can be converted to the credential (for instance a String representation of Globus certificate, which can be converted to a GSSCredential, for optimization reasons one can store the converted credential again in the CredentialSecurityContext).

Constructor Summary

CredentialSecurityContext()
Constructor of the CredentialSecurityContext.

CredentialSecurityContext(Object credential)
Constructor of the CredentialSecurityContext.

Method Summary

Object	clone() Returns a clone of this context.
boolean	equals(Object obj) Check two SecurityContexts for equality.
Object	getCredential() Gets the credential associated with this security context.
int	hashCode() Gets the hashcode of this security context
void	setCredential(Object credential) Sets the credential associated with this security context.
String	toString()
