# Class DelegationPermission

java.lang.Object
java.security.Permission
java.security.BasicPermission
javax.security.auth.kerberos.DelegationPermission

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Serializable, Guard`

@Deprecated(since="25", forRemoval=true) public final class DelegationPermission extends BasicPermission implements Serializable
Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
This permission cannot be used for controlling access to resources as the Security Manager is no longer supported.
This class is for Kerberos delegation permissions.

The target name of this `Permission` specifies a pair of kerberos service principals. The first is the subordinate service principal being entrusted to use the TGT. The second service principal designates the target service the subordinate service principal is to interact with on behalf of the initiating KerberosPrincipal. This latter service principal is specified to restrict the use of a proxiable ticket.

  - ### DelegationPermission

    public DelegationPermission(String principals)
    Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
    Create a new `DelegationPermission` with the specified subordinate and target principals.
    Parameters:
      `principals` - the name of the subordinate and target principals
    Throws:
      `NullPointerException` - if `principals` is `null`.
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if `principals` is empty, or does not contain a pair of principals, or is improperly quoted

  - ### DelegationPermission

    public DelegationPermission(String principals, String actions)
    Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
    Create a new `DelegationPermission` with the specified subordinate and target principals.
    Parameters:
      `principals` - the name of the subordinate and target principals
      `actions` - should be null.
    Throws:
      `NullPointerException` - if `principals` is `null`.
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if `principals` is empty, or does not contain a pair of principals, or is improperly quoted

- ## Method Details

  - ### implies

    public boolean implies(Permission p)
    Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
    Checks if this Kerberos delegation permission object "implies" the specified permission.

    This method returns true if this `DelegationPermission` is equal to `p`, and returns false otherwise.

    Overrides:
      `implies` in class `BasicPermission`
    Parameters:
      `p` - the permission to check against.
    Returns:
      true if the specified permission is implied by this object, false if not.

  - ### equals

    public boolean equals(Object obj)
    Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
    Checks two DelegationPermission objects for equality.
    Overrides:
      `equals` in class `BasicPermission`
    Parameters:
      `obj` - the object to test for equality with this object.
    Returns:
      true if `obj` is a DelegationPermission, and has the same subordinate and service principal as this DelegationPermission object.
    See Also:
      - `Object.hashCode()`
      - `HashMap`

  - ### hashCode

    public int hashCode()
    Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
    Returns the hash code value for this object.
    Overrides:
      `hashCode` in class `BasicPermission`
    Returns:
      the hash code value for this object
    See Also:
      - `Object.equals(java.lang.Object)`
      - `System.identityHashCode(Object)`

  - ### newPermissionCollection

    public PermissionCollection newPermissionCollection()
    Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
    Returns a PermissionCollection object for storing DelegationPermission objects.
    DelegationPermission objects must be stored in a manner that allows them to be inserted into the collection in any order, but that also enables the PermissionCollection implies method to be implemented in an efficient (and consistent) manner.
    Overrides:
      `newPermissionCollection` in class `BasicPermission`
    Returns:
      a new PermissionCollection object suitable for storing DelegationPermissions.
