Name
Class javax.security.auth.login.LoginContext
Synopsis
This class is used to authenticate a user. You create an instance of this class (perhaps supplying an appropriate callback handler and/or subject) and then invoke the login( )
method to authenticate the user. If that succeeds, the user may be retrieved with the getSubject( )
method; that subject is then generally passed to the Subject.doAs( )
method.
