Oid	getMechanism() Get the mechanism type that this NameElement corresponds to.
Provider	getProvider()
Oid	getStringNameType() Returns the oid describing the format of the printable name.
int	hashCode() Returns a hashcode value for this GSSNameSpi.
boolean	isAnonymousName() Indicates if this name object represents an Anonymous name.
String	toString() Returns a string representation for this name.

Method Detail

getProvider

Provider getProvider()

equals

boolean equals(GSSNameSpi name)
               throws GSSException

Equals method for the GSSNameSpi objects. If either name denotes an anonymous principal, the call should return false.

Parameters:

name - to be compared with

Throws:

GSSException - with major codes of BAD_NAMETYPE, BAD_NAME, FAILURE

equals

boolean equals(Object another)

Compares this GSSNameSpi object to another Object that might be a GSSNameSpi. The behaviour is exactly the same as in equals except that no GSSException is thrown; instead, false will be returned in the situation where an error occurs.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

another - the object to be compared to

equals(GSSNameSpi)

hashCode

int hashCode()

Returns a hashcode value for this GSSNameSpi.

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

Returns:

a hashCode value

export

byte[] export()
              throws GSSException

Returns a flat name representation for this object. The name format is defined in RFC 2078.

Returns:

the flat name representation for this object

Throws:

GSSException - with major codes NAME_NOT_MN, BAD_NAME, BAD_NAME, FAILURE.

getMechanism

Oid getMechanism()

Get the mechanism type that this NameElement corresponds to.

Returns:

the Oid of the mechanism type

toString

String toString()

Returns a string representation for this name. The printed name type can be obtained by calling getStringNameType().

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

string form of this name

See Also:

getStringNameType()

getStringNameType

Oid getStringNameType()

Returns the oid describing the format of the printable name.

Returns:

the Oid for the format of the printed name

isAnonymousName

boolean isAnonymousName()

Indicates if this name object represents an Anonymous name.
