Interface SPSession

All Superinterfaces:

Component, IdentifiedComponent

All Known Implementing Classes:

BasicSPSession

@ThreadSafe
public interface SPSession
extends IdentifiedComponent

Describes a session with a service in turn associated with an IdPSession. This is a high level interface that should be extended to expose data associated with particular protocols used to establish sessions.

Method Detail

getCreationInstant

@Positive
long getCreationInstant()

Get the time, in milliseconds since the epoch, when this session was created.

Returns:

time, in milliseconds since the epoch, when this session was created, never less than 0

getExpirationInstant

@Positive
long getExpirationInstant()

Get the time, in milliseconds since the epoch, when this session will expire.

Returns:

time, in milliseconds since the epoch, when this session will expire, never less than 0

getSPSessionKey

@Nullable
String getSPSessionKey()

Get a unique key identifying this subject's session with the service.

This will vary based on the type of session, typically based on the protocol used, but it provides a secondary lookup key that may be required in support of other use cases involving that protocol. Not all protocols may require such a key, so null may be returned.

Returns:

a unique key identifying this subject's session with the service, or null
