Java 1.4

This abstract class is a representation of the system and user login configuration files. The static getConfiguration( ) method returns the global Configuration object, and the static setConfiguration( ) allows that global object to be replaced with some other implementation. The instance method refresh( ) causes a Configuration to re-read the underlying configuration files. getAppConfigurationEntry( ) is the key method: it returns an array of AppConfigurationEntry objects that represent the set of login modules to be used for applications with the specified name . LoginContext uses this class to determine which login modules to use to authenticate a user of the named application. Application programmers do not typically need to use this class themselves . See the documentation for your Java implementation for the syntax of the underlying login configuration files.
