All Implemented Interfaces:

public final class AuthClassContext

extends java.util.Hashtable

implements java.io.Serializable

AuthClassContext provides iMgrAuthenticator implementors a place to cache information based on a class (or type) of iMgrAuthenticator. AuthClassContext is basically a Hashtable.

The primary difference between the AuthContext and the AuthClassContext is that there exists one AuthContext for every instance of an iMgrAuthenticator. The AutheClassContext only exists once for all instances of a type of iMgrAuthenticator.

So all users logged into to the ManagementServiceSet iMgrAuthenticator would have their own instances of the AuthContext, but would share the AuthClassContext.

Can be used to store system wide configuration data.
