Interface AuthorizationIdentity

public interface AuthorizationIdentity

A realm's authorization identity. Objects of this class represent an active identity which may be examined for authorization decisions. Since there is no upper bound in the lifespan of instances of this class, they should not retain references to scarce resources like database connections or file handles.
