Interface GSSAPIServerSubjectFactory

public interface GSSAPIServerSubjectFactory

The GSSAPIServerSubjectFactory is a factory responsible for returning the Subject that should be used for handing the GSSAPI based authentication for a specific request. The authentication handlers will not perform any caching of the returned Subject, the factory implementation can either return a new Subject for each request or can cache them maybe based on the expiration time of tickets contained within the Subject.
