Method Detail

getEffectiveContext

public java.lang.Object getEffectiveContext()
                                     throws RestrictedUseException

Get the effective security context associated with the current thread, if any.

Returns:

Effective security context, or null if either this is not a server-side security manager, or there is no effective security context associated with the current thread.

Throws:

RestrictedUseException - if called improperly.

getIdentity

public java.lang.String getIdentity(java.lang.Object key)
                             throws RestrictedUseException

Returns the subject ID associated with the passed key.

The subject ID returned is in the form processID/userID. Either part can be empty. No group IDs are returned as they must be uniquely identifiable by userID.

Note that the security cache has to be taken from the passed key which is a SecurityContext, as the correct identity of the key is bound to the security cache generation.

Restricted use. This method checks the caller to be the "authenticateRemote" method of the com.goldencode.p2j.net.Dispatcher class.

Parameters:

key - a key to a security context to be queried

Returns:

subject ID

Throws:

RestrictedUseException - if called improperly

                                      throws RestrictedUseException
