This class represents a scope for identities. It is an Identity itself, and therefore has a name and can have a scope. It can also optionally have a public key and associated certificates.
An IdentityScope
can contain Identity
objects of all
kinds, including signers. All types of Identity
objects can be
retrieved, added, and removed using the same methods. Note that it is
possible, and in fact expected, that different types of identity scopes will
apply different policies for their various operations on the
various types of Identities.
There is a one-to-one mapping between keys and identities, and there can only be one copy of one key per scope. For example, suppose Acme Software, Inc is a software publisher known to a user. Suppose it is an Identity, that is, it has a public key, and a set of associated certificates. It is named in the scope using the name "Acme Software". No other named Identity in the scope has the same public key. Of course, none has the same name as well.

Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.Constructs a new identity scope with the specified name.- Parameters:
name
- the scope name.
-
IdentityScope
Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.Constructs a new identity scope with the specified name and scope.- Parameters:
name
- the scope name.scope
- the scope for the new identity scope.- Throws:

getSystemScope
Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.Returns the system's identity scope.- Returns:
- the system's identity scope, or
null
if none has been set. - See Also:
-
setSystemScope
Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.Sets the system's identity scope.First, if there is a security manager, its
checkSecurityAccess
method is called with"setSystemScope"
as its argument to see if it's ok to set the identity scope.- Parameters:
scope
- the scope to set.- Throws:
SecurityException
- if a security manager exists and itscheckSecurityAccess
method doesn't allow setting the identity scope.- See Also:
-
size
public abstract int size()Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.Returns the number of identities within this identity scope.- Returns:
- the number of identities within this identity scope.
-
getIdentity
Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.Returns theIdentity
in this scope with the specified name (if any).- Parameters:
name
- the name of theIdentity
to be retrieved.- Returns:
- the
Identity
namedname
, ornull
if there are no identities namedname
in this scope.
-
getIdentity
Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.Retrieves theIdentity
whose name is the same as that of the specified principal. (Note:Identity
implementsPrincipal
.)- Parameters:
principal
- the principal corresponding to theIdentity
to be retrieved.- Returns:
- the
Identity
whose name is the same as that of the principal, ornull
if there are no identities of the same name in this scope.
-

Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.Retrieves theidentity
with the specified public key.- Parameters:
key
- the public key for the identity to be returned.- Returns:
- the identity with the given key, or
null
if there are no identities in this scope with that key.
-
addIdentity
Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.Adds anIdentity
to this identity scope.- Parameters:
identity
- theIdentity
to be added.- Throws:
KeyManagementException
- if the identity is not valid, a name conflict occurs, another identity has the same public key as the identity being added, or another exception occurs.
-

from this identity scope.- Parameters:
identity

- an enumeration of all identities in this identity scope.
-
toString
Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.Returns a string representation of this identity scope, including its name, its scope name, and the number of identities in this identity scope.
