Class Overview

This class is essentially a wrapper class for the gss_cred_id_t structure of the native GSS library.

Summary

Provider getProvider()
boolean isAcceptorCredential()
Determines if this credential element can be used by a context acceptor.
boolean isInitiatorCredential()

Public Methods

public void dispose ()

Called to invalidate this credential element and release any system recourses and cryptographic information owned by the credential.

Throws
GSSException

public int getAcceptLifetime ()

Returns the accept lifetime remaining.

Returns
  • the accept lifetime remaining in seconds
Throws
GSSException

public int getInitLifetime ()

Returns the init lifetime remaining.

Returns
  • the init lifetime remaining in seconds
Throws
GSSException

public Oid getMechanism ()

Returns the oid representing the underlying credential mechanism oid.

Returns
  • the Oid for this credential mechanism

public GSSNameElement getName ()

Returns the principal name for this credential. The name is in mechanism specific format.

Returns
  • GSSNameSpi representing principal name of this credential
Throws
GSSException

public Provider getProvider ()

public boolean isAcceptorCredential ()

Determines if this credential element can be used by a context acceptor.

Returns
  • true if it can be used for accepting contexts

public boolean isInitiatorCredential ()

Determines if this credential element can be used by a context initiator.

Returns
  • true if it can be used for initiating contexts

public String toString ()

Returns a string representation of the object. In general, the toString method returns a string that "textually represents" this object. The result should be a concise but informative representation that is easy for a person to read. It is recommended that all subclasses override this method.

The toString method for class Object returns a string consisting of the name of the class of which the object is an instance, the at-sign character `@', and the unsigned hexadecimal representation of the hash code of the object. In other words, this method returns a string equal to the value of:

 getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())
 

Returns
  • a string representation of the object.

Protected Methods

protected void finalize ()

Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object. A subclass overrides the finalize method to dispose of system resources or to perform other cleanup.

The general contract of finalize is that it is invoked if and when the JavaTM virtual machine has determined that there is no longer any means by which this object can be accessed by any thread that has not yet died, except as a result of an action taken by the finalization of some other object or class which is ready to be finalized. The finalize method may take any action, including making this object available again to other threads; the usual purpose of finalize, however, is to perform cleanup actions before the object is irrevocably discarded. For example, the finalize method for an object that represents an input/output connection might perform explicit I/O transactions to break the connection before the object is permanently discarded.

The finalize method of class Object performs no special action; it simply returns normally. Subclasses of Object may override this definition.

The Java programming language does not guarantee which thread will invoke the finalize method for any given object. It is guaranteed, however, that the thread that invokes finalize will not be holding any user-visible synchronization locks when finalize is invoked. If an uncaught exception is thrown by the finalize method, the exception is ignored and finalization of that object terminates.

After the finalize method has been invoked for an object, no further action is taken until the Java virtual machine has again determined that there is no longer any means by which this object can be accessed by any thread that has not yet died, including possible actions by other objects or classes which are ready to be finalized, at which point the object may be discarded.

The finalize method is never invoked more than once by a Java virtual machine for any given object.

Any exception thrown by the finalize method causes the finalization of this object to be halted, but is otherwise ignored.

Throws
Throwable
