Class GetSubject

java.lang.Object
com.sas.services.security.GetSubject
@SASScope("ALL") @BinaryCompatibilityOnly public class GetSubject extends Object
This class has only one purpose: To copy a user's Subject across a remote interface. Since the JAAS Subject class is neither Remote nor Serializable, there needs to be a mechanism for getting it across a remote interface, so it can be used for a doAs() or doAsPrivileged() code section.

1.0
