Class Overview
Interface to define how remote credentials are converted into a JAAS Subject. This interface is used by the RMI Connector Server, and can be used by other connector servers.
The user-defined authenticator instance is passed to the
connector server in the environment map as the value of the
attribute AUTHENTICATOR. For connector
servers that use only this authentication system, if this attribute
is not present or its value is null then no user
authentication will be performed and full access to the methods
exported by the MBeanServerConnection object will be
allowed.
If authentication is successful then an authenticated
subject filled in with its associated
principals is returned. Authorization checks
will be then performed based on the given set of principals.
