The WLSPrincipal interface is a convenience interface that defines a principal whose name field will be signed by the weblogic.security.provider.PrincipalValidatorImpl class. To use this class, you should make the PrincipalValidatorImpl class the runtime class for your Principal Validation provider, or extend that class and make the extended class your Principal Validation provider. Then implement the required methods.
