public final class AuthorizationIdentityRequestControl
extends Control

This class provides an implementation of the authorization identity bind request control as described in RFC 3829. It may be included in a bind request to request that the server include the authorization identity associated with the client connection in the bind response message, in the form of an AuthorizationIdentityResponseControl.

The authorization identity request control is similar to the "Who Am I?" extended request as implemented in the WhoAmIExtendedRequest class. The primary difference between them is that the "Who Am I?" extended request can be used at any time but requires a separate operation, while the authorization identity request control can be included only with a bind request but does not require a separate operation.

Example

The following example demonstrates the use of the authorization identity request and response controls. It authenticates to the directory server and attempts to retrieve the authorization identity from the response:
 String authzID = null;
 BindRequest bindRequest =
      new SimpleBindRequest("uid=test.user,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com",
           "password", new AuthorizationIdentityRequestControl());

 BindResult bindResult = connection.bind(bindRequest);
 AuthorizationIdentityResponseControl authzIdentityResponse =
      AuthorizationIdentityResponseControl.get(bindResult);
 if (authzIdentityResponse != null)
 {
   authzID = authzIdentityResponse.getAuthorizationID();
 }
