Interface AMGroupContainer

All Superinterfaces:

AMConstants, AMObject

public interface AMGroupContainer
extends AMObject

Deprecated.

As of Sun Java System Access Manager 7.1.

This interface provides methods to manage group container. AMGroupContainer objects can be obtained by using AMStoreConnection. A handle to this object can be obtained by using the DN of the object.

 
 AMStoreConnection amsc = new AMStoreConnection(ssotoken); if
 (amsc.doesEntryExist(gcDN)) { AMGroupContainer dg =
 amsc.getGroupContainer(gcDN); }
