getSubject

Subject getSubject()
                   throws CredentialNotFoundException

Gets the client request subject. ALSB supports several mechanisms to authenticate clients. In particular, the client request may be authenticated at the transport level or message level. Transport providers must not make any assumptions about the method used to authenticate this subject. Note that this subject may be anonymous.

The transport provider can use this subject for JAAS-based outbound authentication. The transport provider can call Security.runAs(javax.security.auth.Subject, java.security.PrivilegedAction) to push the subject on the thread.

Note: transport providers should not rely on the subject on the thread at the time the provider is invoked.

Returns:

the client subject

Throws:

CredentialNotFoundException - if there is any error while resolving the subject

getKeyPair

weblogic.security.KeyPairCredential getKeyPair()
                                               throws CredentialNotFoundException

Returns a key-pair credential used for outbound SSL client authentication.

Returns:

the SSL key-pair

Throws:

CredentialNotFoundException - if there is any error while resolving the key-pair
