  29  * This class is for authentication permissions. An {@code AuthPermission}
  30  * contains a name (also referred to as a "target name") but no actions
  31  * list; you either have the named permission or you don't.
  32  *
  33  * <p> The target name is the name of a security configuration parameter
  34  * (see below).  Currently the {@code AuthPermission} object is used to
  35  * guard access to the {@link Policy}, {@link Subject},
  36  * {@link javax.security.auth.login.LoginContext}, and
  37  * {@link javax.security.auth.login.Configuration} objects.
  38  *
  39  * <p> The standard target names for an Authentication Permission are:
  40  *
  41  * <pre>
  42  *      doAs -                  allow the caller to invoke the
  43  *                              {@code Subject.doAs} methods.
  44  *
  45  *      doAsPrivileged -        allow the caller to invoke the
  46  *                              {@code Subject.doAsPrivileged} methods.
  47  *
  48  *      getSubject -            allow for the retrieval of the
  49  *                              Subject(s) associated with the
  50  *                              current Thread.
  51  *
  52  *      getSubjectFromDomainCombiner -  allow for the retrieval of the
  53  *                              Subject associated with the
  54  *                              a {@code SubjectDomainCombiner}.
  55  *


 104  * <p>Please note that granting this permission with the "modifyPrincipals",
 105  * "modifyPublicCredentials" or "modifyPrivateCredentials" target allows
 106  * a JAAS login module to populate principal or credential objects into
 107  * the Subject. Although reading information inside the private credentials
 108  * set requires a {@link PrivateCredentialPermission} of the credential type to
 109  * be granted, reading information inside the principals set and the public
 110  * credentials set requires no additional permission. These objects can contain
 111  * potentially sensitive information. For example, login modules that read
 112  * local user information or perform a Kerberos login are able to add
 113  * potentially sensitive information such as user ids, groups and domain names
 114  * to the principals set.
 115  *
 116  * <p> The following target name has been deprecated in favor of
 117  * {@code createLoginContext.{name}}.
 118  *
 119  * <pre>
 120  *      createLoginContext -    allow code to instantiate a
 121  *                              {@code LoginContext}.
 122  * </pre>
 123  *
 124  * <p> {@code javax.security.auth.Policy} has been
 125  * deprecated in favor of {@code java.security.Policy}.
 126  * Therefore, the following target names have also been deprecated:
 127  *
 128  * <pre>
 129  *      getPolicy -             allow the caller to retrieve the system-wide
 130  *                              Subject-based access control policy.
 131  *
 132  *      setPolicy -             allow the caller to set the system-wide
 133  *                              Subject-based access control policy.
 134  *
 135  *      refreshPolicy -         allow the caller to refresh the system-wide
 136  *                              Subject-based access control policy.
 137  * </pre>
 138  *
 139  * @implNote
 140  * Implementations may define additional target names, but should use naming
 141  * conventions such as reverse domain name notation to avoid name clashes.
 142  * @since 1.4
