public abstract class XplatIdentity

extends Identity

Represents an authenticatable entity in Xplat, such as a user, an administrator, and so forth. This class is not intended to be instantiated as is, but rather extended by NDS and Bindery identities. This class contains the common functionality of session management for these classes.

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