Interface IMultiContextIdentifier

All Superinterfaces:

IPrincipalIdentifier, java.security.Principal

All Known Implementing Classes:

PrincipalIdentifier

public interface IMultiContextIdentifier
extends IPrincipalIdentifier

Used to hold a unique identifier that can represent a principal in an IGF enabled Attribute Service. IMutiContextIdentifier holds information on contexts that this principal may be related to. The identifier is not necessarily universal and may only be relevant for a particular Attribute Service Stack context.

For reporting purposes only, IPrincipalIdentifier can be used to retrieve information about whether the principal is mapped to one or more context providers (an entity that has attributes in multiple contexts).
