Interface CtsSecurity::CallerPrincipal

This represents an interface for retrieving additional information about the current authenticated session. This interface should be used when a customized authentication service component is also used.

This interface is implemented by setting the CtsSecurity::CallerPrincipal as an additional interface for the authentication component. It is optional to implement this interface.

Operation Index

• getCallerPrincipal

Operations

• getCallerPrincipal

  Returns the original principal name given the alternate_name. An Authentication service can modify the username associated with an authenticated session by calling the setName method. The getCallerPrincipal method should perform the reverse mapping of setName.

      string getCallerPrincipal
      (
          in string alternate_name
      );
  

  This method is internally invoked by the server, when a bean calls EJBContext.getCallerPrincipal. If the authentication service does not implement this interface, then this method is not invoked, and the current username is returned.
