Interface ITicket

All Known Implementing Classes:

Ticket

public interface ITicket

This is the central ticket interface. A ticket is returned by the security service as service access unit. Tickets can expire after a while (e.g. for Administrator tickets). Always they should expire after a certain time of no usage. There are also different implementation location. A ticket can firstly directly denied by the target security service or also can be denied by the ticket itself. The security class itself should check for a different implementation class to prevent wrapping of the security ticket.
