Interface IAssignableLoginInfo

All Superinterfaces:

ILoginInfo

public interface IAssignableLoginInfo

extends ILoginInfo

Interface providing login information, supporting real and effective user ids. When an object of this interface is first created, real and effective user ids are set identical. The effective id / password can then be assigned different values. One reason you might want this is if you have a default userid that should be used if a userid does not meet some real criteria. You may want to keep the real userid and password for storing things such as search history or user preferences, but use the system account for doing things such as accessing Verity or Documentum.

For backwards compatibility, the effect id and password is returned by calls to getUserName() / getPassword(). The real user id / password can never be changed, and is retrieved by getRealUserName() / getRealPassword().

Contains security information about a user. Username, password, or other sources of authentication.
