Detailed Description

A "Principal" identifies an authenticated entity in the network administration framework.

Identities are used to control acccess (authorization) as well as in audit trails (accountability).

Note:

This CORBA feature has been deprecated by the OMG. Use the CORBA Security Service instead.

Member Data Documentation

CORBA::OctetSeq CORBA::Principal::id

CORBA::ULong CORBA::Principal::refcount_ [private]

Number of outstanding references to this object.

TAO_SYNCH_MUTEX CORBA::Principal::refcount_mutex_ [private]

Protect the reference count, this is OK because we do no duplicates or releases on the critical path.
