Interface GSSAPIServerSubjectFactory

  • public interface GSSAPIServerSubjectFactory
    The GSSAPIServerSubjectFactory is a factory responsible for returning the Subject that should be used for handing the GSSAPI based authentication for a specific request. The authentication handlers will not perform any caching of the returned Subject, the factory implementation can either return a new Subject for each request or can cache them maybe based on the expiration time of tickets contained within the Subject.

        The Subject to use for the specified host name or null if no match possible.
