public class NdsIdentityScope

extends XplatIdentityScope

Represents an authenticatable container in NDS, such as a context, or a tree. Every NdsIdentity is associated with an identity scope that is typically an NDS context. The NDS context is, in turn, associated with an NDS tree, which is associated with the NDS administrative domain scope. The tree domain scope is a child of the administrative domain scope. The context domain scope is a child of the tree domain scope. There may be many context domain scopes. A user identity is a child of the context domain scope.

For example, to construct a user named Karah, in a subcontext called Java, in a context called Engineering, and in an NDS tree called KARAH_CORP you might do the following:

 IdentityScope administrativeDomain  = new NdsIdentityScope();
 IdentityScope tree                  = new NdsIdentityScope("KARAH_CORP",administrativeDomain);
 IdentityScope context               = new NdsIdentityScope("Engineering",tree);
 IdentityScope subcontext            = new NdsIdentityScope("Java",context);
 Identity      user                  = new NdsIdentity("Karah",subcontext);
