5.7.6.2.1: Manipulating credentials
A credential object is an object that implements the
org.omg.SecurityLevel2.Credentials interface. This interface supports
many operations on credentials. A specific credential object contains
identifying information about a principal for a session; this information
includes the security name of the principal, the principal's hostname,
and more. The Credentials interface defines methods for the following:
- Copying a credential
- Retrieving the information in the credential
- Determining if the credential has expired
