public class BinderyIdentity

extends XplatIdentity

implements PasswordIdentityFactory

Represents an authenticatable entity in a bindery system (a user, an administrator, and so forth). Every BinderyIdentity is associated with a server identity scope, which is then associated with the bindery administrative domain scope. The server domain scope is a child of the administrative domain scope, and a user identity is a child of the server domain scope.

For example, to construct a user named Karah on a bindery server called Jaeger:

 IdentityScope administrativeDomain  = new BinderyIdentityScope();
 IdentityScope server                = new BinderyIdentityScope("Jaeger",administrativeDomain);
 Identity      user                  = new BinderyIdentity("Karah",server);
