NAME

Authen::PAAS::Principal - An identity for a subject

SYNOPSIS

use Authen::PAAS::Principal;

my $princ = Authen::PAAS::Principal->new(name => $name);

print $princ->name, "\n";

DESCRIPTION

This module represents an identity for a subject. An identity may be a kerberos principal, a UNIX username, or any other identifying token related to a particular authentication scheme. This module will usually be sub-classed by each Authen::PAAS::LoginModule implementation to provide module specific identifying data.

METHODS

$obj = Authen::PAAS::Principal->new(name => $name);

Create a new principal with a name given by the name parameter. This constructor will typically only be used by sub-classes of this module.

my $name = $princ->name;

Retrieves the name associated with this principal, as set in the constructor.
