Detailed Description A container for security Information. Each context has a name and a type, and a data object associated with it. The data object is opaque to the GAT API and is used and manipulated by adaptors based upon their interpretation of the type. Currently we provide additional auxiliary methods to create a context based upon password information or upon credentials stored in a file. Contexts based upon these mechanisms can be used by adaptors to create further contexts containing opaque data objects, e.g. GSSAPI credentials. Definition at line 17 of file SecurityContext.java.
