@Deprecated(since="25", forRemoval=true) public final class DelegationPermission extends BasicPermission implements Serializable

Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.

This permission cannot be used for controlling access to resources as the Security Manager is no longer supported.

This class is for Kerberos delegation permissions.

The target name of this Permission specifies a pair of kerberos service principals. The first is the subordinate service principal being entrusted to use the TGT. The second service principal designates the target service the subordinate service principal is to interact with on behalf of the initiating KerberosPrincipal. This latter service principal is specified to restrict the use of a proxiable ticket.

DelegationPermission

public DelegationPermission(String principals)

Throws:: NullPointerException - if principals is null.; IllegalArgumentException - if principals is empty, or does not contain a pair of principals, or is improperly quoted

DelegationPermission

public DelegationPermission(String principals, String actions)

Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.

Create a new DelegationPermission with the specified subordinate and target principals.

Parameters:: principals - the name of the subordinate and target principals; actions - should be null.
Throws:: NullPointerException - if principals is null.; IllegalArgumentException - if principals is empty, or does not contain a pair of principals, or is improperly quoted

Method Details

implies

public boolean implies(Permission p)

Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.

Checks if this Kerberos delegation permission object "implies" the specified permission.

This method returns true if this DelegationPermission is equal to p, and returns false otherwise.

Overrides:: implies in class BasicPermission
Parameters:: p - the permission to check against.
Returns:: true if the specified permission is implied by this object, false if not.

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.

Checks two DelegationPermission objects for equality.

Overrides:

equals in class BasicPermission

Parameters:

obj - the object to test for equality with this object.

Returns:

true if obj is a DelegationPermission, and has the same subordinate and service principal as this DelegationPermission object.

See Also:

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.

Returns the hash code value for this object.

Overrides:

hashCode in class BasicPermission

Returns:

the hash code value for this object

See Also:

newPermissionCollection

public PermissionCollection newPermissionCollection()

Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.

Returns a PermissionCollection object for storing DelegationPermission objects.
DelegationPermission objects must be stored in a manner that allows them to be inserted into the collection in any order, but that also enables the PermissionCollection implies method to be implemented in an efficient (and consistent) manner.

Overrides:: newPermissionCollection in class BasicPermission
Returns:: a new PermissionCollection object suitable for storing DelegationPermissions.
