 SecurityModel
The 
USM class implements the User Based Security Model (USM)
 as defined in RFC 3414.
 When a user is added or removed from the USM, a UsmUserEvent
 is fired and forwarded to registered listeners.- Version:

getID
public int getID()Description copied from interface:SecurityModelGets the ID of the security model.- Returns:
 - one of the integer constants defined in the 
SecurityModelinterface. - See Also:
 
 - 
supportsEngineIdDiscovery
public boolean supportsEngineIdDiscovery()Description copied from interface:SecurityModelChecks whether thisSecurityModelsupports authoritative engine ID discovery. TheUSMfor instance, returnstruewhereasTSMreturnsfalse. See also RFC 5343 3.2 for details.- Returns:
 trueif this security model has its own authoritative engine ID discovery mechanism.
 - 
hasAuthoritativeEngineID
public boolean hasAuthoritativeEngineID()Description copied from interface:SecurityModelChecks whether thisSecurityModelhas an authoritative engine ID.- Returns:
 trueif an authoritative engine ID is exchanged between command sender and responder using this security model,falseotherwise.
 - 
setLocalEngine
Sets the local engine ID, number of boots, and time after boot.- Parameters:

 - 
setEngineBoots
public void setEngineBoots(int engineBoots) Sets the number of engine boots.- Parameters:
 engineBoots- the number of engine boots.
