public class AIXNumericUserPrincipal
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.security.Principal, java.io.Serializable

This class represents a user's AIX identification number (UID).

Principals such as this AIXNumericUserPrincipal may be associated with a particular Subject to augment that Subject with an additional identity.
