Description From Tom Scavo 2008-06-20 12:57:39

Once a security item (i.e., an implementation of IssuedSecurityItem) becomes
trusted, its fields should become immutable.  This safety feature will prevent
coding errors and software vulnerabilities.

------- Comment #1 From Tom Scavo 2008-06-20 13:57:23 -------

Modified the setter methods in these classes:

org.globus.gridshib.security.BaseSecurityItem
org.globus.gridshib.security.BasicAttribute
org.globus.gridshib.security.SAMLAuthnContext
org.globus.gridshib.security.SAMLIdentity

As a result, trusted instances of these security items are immutable.

------- Comment #2 From Tom Scavo 2008-06-20 13:59:26 -------

Added a new method in SAMLAuthnContext:

public String getFormattedAuthnInstant();

This is for convenience mainly, since formatted dateTime strings are required
in multiple places.

------- Comment #3 From Tom Scavo 2008-06-20 14:01:01 -------

The source files implied in Comment #1 have been committed to CVS HEAD.  This
patch will appear in GS-ST v0.4.3.
