All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Principal

public class NTDomainPrincipal extends Object implements Principal, Serializable
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.
