Interface GSSCredentialSpi

All Known Implementing Classes:

GSSCredElement, SpNegoCredElement

public interface GSSCredentialSpi

This interface is implemented by a mechanism specific credential element. A GSSCredential is conceptually a container class of several credential elements from different mechanisms.

Method Summary

void	dispose() Called to invalidate this credential element and release any system recourses and cryptographic information owned by the credential.
int	getAcceptLifetime() Returns the accept lifetime remaining.
int	getInitLifetime() Returns the init lifetime remaining.
Oid	getMechanism() Returns the oid representing the underlying credential mechanism oid.
GSSNameSpi	getName() Returns the principal name for this credential.
Provider	getProvider()
boolean	isAcceptorCredential() Determines if this credential element can be used by a context acceptor.
boolean	isInitiatorCredential() Determines if this credential element can be used by a context initiator.

Method Detail

getProvider

Provider getProvider()

dispose

void dispose()
             throws GSSException

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

Throws:

GSSException - with major codes NO_CRED and FAILURE

getName

                   throws GSSException

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

Returns:

GSSNameSpi representing principal name of this credential

Throws:

GSSException - may be thrown

getInitLifetime

int getInitLifetime()
                    throws GSSException

Returns the init lifetime remaining.

Returns:

the init lifetime remaining in seconds

Throws:

GSSException - may be thrown

getAcceptLifetime

int getAcceptLifetime()
                      throws GSSException

Returns the accept lifetime remaining.

Returns:

the accept lifetime remaining in seconds

Throws:

GSSException - may be thrown

isInitiatorCredential

boolean isInitiatorCredential()
                              throws GSSException

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

Returns:

true if it can be used for initiating contexts

Throws:

GSSException

isAcceptorCredential

boolean isAcceptorCredential()
                             throws GSSException

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

Returns:

true if it can be used for accepting contexts

Throws:

GSSException

getMechanism

Oid getMechanism()

Returns the oid representing the underlying credential mechanism oid.

Returns:

the Oid for this credential mechanism
