/**
 * <p>Permission required by an authentication identity to perform
 * operations on behalf of an authorization identity.</p>
 *
 * <p>A SubjectDelegationPermission contains a name (also referred
 * to as a "target name") but no actions list; you either have the
 * named permission or you don't.</p>
 *
 * <p>The target name is the name of the authorization principal
 * classname followed by a period and the authorization principal
 * name, that is
 * <code>"PrincipalClassName.PrincipalName".

 *
 * <p>An asterisk may appear by itself, or if immediately preceded
 * by a "." may appear at the end of the target name, to signify a
 * wildcard match.</p>
 *
 * <p>For example, "*", "javax.management.remote.JMXPrincipal.*" and
 * "javax.management.remote.JMXPrincipal.delegate" are valid target
 * names. The first one denotes any principal name from any principal
 * class, the second one denotes any principal name of the concrete
 * principal class <code>javax.management.remote.JMXPrincipal
 * and the third one denotes a concrete principal name
 * <code>delegate of the concrete principal class
 * <code>javax.management.remote.JMXPrincipal.
