com.sun.security.auth.NTSid
- All Implemented Interfaces:
- Serializable,- Principal
- Direct Known Subclasses:
- NTSidDomainPrincipal,- NTSidGroupPrincipal,- NTSidPrimaryGroupPrincipal,- NTSidUserPrincipal
This class implements the 
Principal interface
 and represents information about a Windows NT user, group or realm.
 Windows NT chooses to represent users, groups and realms (or domains) with not only common names, but also relatively unique numbers. These numbers are called Security IDentifiers, or SIDs. Windows NT also provides services that render these SIDs into string forms. This class represents these string forms.
 Principals such as this NTSid
 may be associated with a particular Subject
 to augment that Subject with an additional
 identity.  Refer to the Subject class for more information
 on how to achieve this.  Authorization decisions can then be based upon
 the Principals associated with a Subject.
