IdentityScope

public abstract class IdentityScope
extends Identity

java.lang.Object
↳	java.security.Identity
	↳	java.security.IdentityScope

This class was deprecated in API level 1.
This class is no longer used. Its functionality has been replaced by java.security.KeyStore, the java.security.cert package, and java.security.Principal.

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.

Constructs a new identity scope with the specified name.

Parameters
`name`	`String`: the scope name.

IdentityScope

Added in API level 1

IdentityScope (String name, 
                IdentityScope scope)

Constructs a new identity scope with the specified name and scope.

Parameters
`name`	`String`: the scope name.
`scope`	`IdentityScope`: the scope for the new identity scope.

Throws

Protected constructors

IdentityScope

Added in API level 1

IdentityScope ()

This constructor is used for serialization only and should not be used by subclasses.

Public methods

addIdentity

Added in API level 1

void addIdentity (Identity identity)

Adds an identity to this identity scope.

Parameters
`identity`	`Identity`: the identity 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.

getIdentity

Added in API level 1

Identity getIdentity (String name)

Returns the identity in this scope with the specified name (if any).

Parameters
`name`	`String`: the name of the identity to be retrieved.

Returns
`Identity`	the identity named `name`, or null if there are no identities named `name` in this scope.

getIdentity

Added in API level 1

Identity getIdentity (PublicKey key)

Retrieves the identity with the specified public key.

Parameters
`key`	`PublicKey`: the public key for the identity to be returned.

Returns
`Identity`	the identity with the given key, or null if there are no identities in this scope with that key.

getIdentity

Added in API level 1

Identity getIdentity (Principal principal)

Retrieves the identity whose name is the same as that of the specified principal. (Note: Identity implements Principal.)

Parameters
`principal`	`Principal`: the principal corresponding to the identity to be retrieved.

Returns

`scope`	`IdentityScope`: the scope to set.

Throws
`SecurityException`	if a security manager exists and its `checkSecurityAccess` method doesn't allow setting the identity scope.
