Class JMXPrincipal

    java.lang.Object
      javax.management.remote.JMXPrincipal

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Serializable, Principal

    public class JMXPrincipal

extends Object

Principals such as this `JMXPrincipal` may be associated with a particular `Subject` to augment that `Subject` with an additional identity. Refer to the `Subject` class for more information on how to achieve this. Authorization decisions can then be based upon the Principals associated with a `Subject`.
