|---|---|
| org.ietf.jgss | This package presents a framework that allows application developers to
    make use of security services like authentication, data integrity and
    data confidentiality from a variety of underlying security mechanisms
    like Kerberos, using a unified API. | 
| Modifier and Type | Field and Description | 
|---|---|

| static Oid | GSSName. NT_EXPORT_NAMEName type used to indicate an exported name produced by the export
 method. | 
| static Oid | GSSName. NT_HOSTBASED_SERVICEOid indicating a host-based service name form. | 
| static Oid | GSSName. NT_MACHINE_UID_NAMEName type to indicate a numeric user identifier corresponding to a
 user on a local system. | 
| static Oid | GSSName. NT_STRING_UID_NAMEName type to indicate a string of digits representing the numeric
 user identifier of a user on a local system. |

| Modifier and Type | Method and Description | 
|---|---|
| Oid | GSSContext. getMech()Determines what mechanism is being used for this
 context. | 
| abstract Oid[] | GSSManager. getMechs()Returns a list of mechanisms that are available to GSS-API callers
 through this GSSManager. | 
| Oid[] | GSSCredential. getMechs()Returns a list of mechanisms supported by this credential. | 
| abstract Oid[] | GSSManager. getMechsForName(Oid nameType)Returns a list of mechanisms that support the indicated name type. | 
| abstract Oid[] | GSSManager. getNamesForMech(Oid mech)Returns then name types supported by the indicated mechanism. | 
| Oid | GSSName. getStringNameType()Returns the name type of the printable
 representation of this name that can be obtained from the  
 toStringmethod. | 
| Modifier and Type | Method and Description | 
|---|---|
| void | GSSCredential. add(GSSName name,
   int initLifetime,
   int acceptLifetime,
   Oid mech,
   int usage)Adds a mechanism specific credential-element to an existing
 credential. | 
| abstract void | GSSManager. addProviderAtEnd(Provider p,
                Oid mech)This method is used to indicate to the GSSManager that the
 application would like a particular provider to be used if no other
 provider can be found that supports the given mechanism. | 
| abstract void | GSSManager. addProviderAtFront(Provider p,
                  Oid mech)This method is used to indicate to the GSSManager that the
 application would like a particular provider to be used ahead of all
 others when support is desired for the given mechanism. | 
| GSSName | GSSName. canonicalize(Oid mech)Creates a name that is canonicalized for some
 mechanism. | 
| boolean | Oid. containedIn(Oid[] oids)A utility method to test if this Oid value is contained within the
 supplied Oid array. | 
| abstract GSSContext | GSSManager. createContext(GSSName peer,
             Oid mech,
             GSSCredential myCred,
             int lifetime)Factory method for creating a context on the initiator's
 side. | 
| abstract GSSCredential | GSSManager. createCredential(GSSName name,
                int lifetime,
                Oid[] mechs,
                int usage)Factory method for acquiring credentials over a set of
 mechanisms. | 
| abstract GSSCredential | GSSManager. createCredential(GSSName name,
                int lifetime,
                Oid mech,
                int usage)Factory method for acquiring a single mechanism credential. | 
| abstract GSSName | GSSManager. createName(byte[] name,
          Oid nameType)Factory method to convert a byte array containing a
 name from the specified namespace to a GSSName object. | 
| abstract GSSName | GSSManager. createName(byte[] name,
          Oid nameType,
          Oid mech)Factory method to convert a byte array containing a
 name from the specified namespace to a GSSName object and canonicalize
 it at the same time for a mechanism. | 
| abstract GSSName | GSSManager. createName(String nameStr,
          Oid nameType)Factory method to convert a string name from the
 specified namespace to a GSSName object. | 
| abstract GSSName | GSSManager. createName(String nameStr,
          Oid nameType,
          Oid mech)Factory method to convert a string name from the
 specified namespace to a GSSName object and canonicalize it at the
 same time for a mechanism. | 
| abstract Oid[] | GSSManager. getMechsForName(Oid nameType)Returns a list of mechanisms that support the indicated name type. | 
| GSSName | GSSCredential. getName(Oid mech)Retrieves a Mechanism Name of the entity that the credential
 asserts. | 
| abstract Oid[] | GSSManager. getNamesForMech(Oid mech)Returns then name types supported by the indicated mechanism. | 
| int | GSSCredential. getRemainingAcceptLifetime(Oid mech)Returns the lifetime in seconds for the credential to remain capable
 of accepting security contexts using the specified mechanism. | 
| int | GSSCredential. getRemainingInitLifetime(Oid mech)Returns the lifetime in seconds for the credential to remain capable
 of initiating security contexts using the specified mechanism. | 
| int | GSSCredential. getUsage(Oid mech)Returns the credential usage mode for a specific mechanism. |
