This class implements the Principal
interface and represents the name of the Windows NT domain into which the user authenticated. This will be a domain name if the user logged into a Windows NT domain, a workgroup name if the user logged into a workgroup, or a machine name if the user logged into a standalone configuration.
Principals such as this NTDomainPrincipal
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
.
