Application Interface
For the application developer, JAAS is a standard library that provides:
- a representation of identity (Principal) and a set of credentials (Subject)
- a login service that will invoke your application callbacks to ask the user things like username and password. It returns a new Subject
- a service that tests if a Subject was granted a permission by an administrator.
