Package Summary Overview Summary

### class:DelegationPermission [NONE]
- All Implemented Interfaces: Serializable, Guard
      public final class DelegationPermission
      extends BasicPermission
      implements Serializable
  This class is used to restrict the usage of the Kerberos delegation model, ie: forwardable and proxiable tickets. The target name of this `Permission` specifies a pair of kerberos service principals. The first is the subordinate service principal being entrusted to use the TGT. The second service principal designates the target service the subordinate service principal is to interact with on behalf of the initiating KerberosPrincipal. This latter service principal is specified to restrict the use of a proxiable ticket. For example, to specify the "host" service use of a forwardable TGT the target permission is specified as follows:
        DelegationPermission("\"host/foo.example.com@EXAMPLE.COM\" \"krbtgt/EXAMPLE.COM@EXAMPLE.COM\"");
  To give the "backup" service a proxiable nfs service ticket the target permission might be specified:
        DelegationPermission("\"backup/bar.example.com@EXAMPLE.COM\" \"nfs/home.EXAMPLE.COM@EXAMPLE.COM\"");

### constructor:DelegationPermission(java.lang.String) [NONE]
- #### DelegationPermission
      public DelegationPermission(String principals)
Create a new `DelegationPermission` with the specified subordinate and target principals. Parameters: `principals` - the name of the subordinate and target principals Throws: `NullPointerException` - if `principals` is `null`. `IllegalArgumentException` - if `principals` is empty.

### constructor:DelegationPermission(java.lang.String, java.lang.String) [NONE]
- #### DelegationPermission
      public DelegationPermission(String principals,
                                  String actions)
Create a new `DelegationPermission` with the specified subordinate and target principals. Parameters: `principals` - the name of the subordinate and target principals `actions` - should be null. Throws: `NullPointerException` - if `principals` is `null`. `IllegalArgumentException` - if `principals` is empty.

### method:implies(java.security.Permission) [NONE]
- #### implies
      public boolean implies(Permission p)
Checks if this Kerberos delegation permission object "implies" the specified permission. If none of the above are true, `implies` returns false. Overrides: `implies` in class `BasicPermission` Parameters: `p` - the permission to check against. Returns: true if the specified permission is implied by this object, false if not.

### method:equals(java.lang.Object) [NONE]
- #### equals
      public boolean equals(Object obj)
Checks two DelegationPermission objects for equality. Overrides: `equals` in class `BasicPermission` Parameters: `obj` - the object to test for equality with this object. Returns: true if obj is a DelegationPermission, and has the same subordinate and service principal as this. DelegationPermission object. See Also: `Object.hashCode()`, `HashMap`

### method:hashCode() [NONE]
- #### hashCode
      public int hashCode()
Returns the hash code value for this object. Overrides: `hashCode` in class `BasicPermission` Returns: a hash code value for this object. See Also: `Object.equals(java.lang.Object)`, `System.identityHashCode(java.lang.Object)`

### method:newPermissionCollection() [NONE]
- #### newPermissionCollection
      public PermissionCollection newPermissionCollection()
Returns a PermissionCollection object for storing DelegationPermission objects. DelegationPermission objects must be stored in a manner that allows them to be inserted into the collection in any order, but that also enables the PermissionCollection implies method to be implemented in an efficient (and consistent) manner. Overrides: `newPermissionCollection` in class `BasicPermission` Returns: a new PermissionCollection object suitable for storing DelegationPermissions.
