Class SubjectDelegationPermission

All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Guard 
public final class SubjectDelegationPermission
extends BasicPermission

Permission required by an authentication identity to perform operations on behalf of an authorization identity.

A SubjectDelegationPermission 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 the authorization principal classname followed by a period and the authorization principal name, that is "PrincipalClassName.PrincipalName".

An asterisk may appear by itself, or if immediately preceded by a "." may appear at the end of the target name, to signify a wildcard match.

For example, "*", "javax.management.remote.JMXPrincipal.*" and "javax.management.remote.JMXPrincipal.delegate" are valid target names. The first one denotes any principal name from any principal class, the second one denotes any principal name of the concrete principal class javax.management.remote.JMXPrincipal and the third one denotes a concrete principal name delegate of the concrete principal class javax.management.remote.JMXPrincipal.
