5.7.6.2.1: Manipulating credentials

A credential object is an object that implements the org.omg.SecurityLevel2.Credentials interface. This interface supports many operations on credentials. A specific credential object contains identifying information about a principal for a session; this information includes the security name of the principal, the principal's hostname, and more. The Credentials interface defines methods for the following:

  • Copying a credential
  • Retrieving the information in the credential
  • Determining if the credential has expired
