public class JMXPrincipal extends Object implements Principal, Serializable
The identity of a remote client of the JMX Remote API.
Principals such as this JMXPrincipal
 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.
