Classes in javax.security.auth used by com.sun.security.auth

Class	Description
Policy	Deprecated. as of JDK version 1.4 -- Replaced by java.security.Policy. java.security.Policy has a method: public PermissionCollection getPermissions (java.security.ProtectionDomain pd) and ProtectionDomain has a constructor: public ProtectionDomain (CodeSource cs, PermissionCollection permissions, ClassLoader loader, Principal[] principals) These two APIs provide callers the means to query the Policy for Principal-based Permission entries.
Subject	A Subject represents a grouping of related information for a single entity, such as a person.
