public static Subject createSubject(GSSName principals, GSSCredential credentials)
GSSName and GSSCredential into a Subject. Typically this would be used by a server that wants to impersonate a client. The elements from the GSSName are placed in the principals set of this Subject and those from the GSSCredential are placed in the private credentials set of the Subject. Any Kerberos specific elements that are added to the subject will be instances of the standard Kerberos implementation classes defined in javax.security.auth.kerberos.principals - a GSSName containing one or more mechanism specific representations of the same entity. These mechanism specific representations will be populated in the returned Subject's principal set.credentials - a GSSCredential containing one or more mechanism specific credentials for the same entity. These mechanism specific credentials will be populated in the returned Subject's private credential set. Passing in a value of null will imply that the private credential set should be left empty.Subject with the entries that contain elements from the given GSSName and GSSCredential.
