`Oid` | GSSContext.`getMech()` | Determines what mechanism is being used for this context.
`Oid[]` | GSSCredential.`getMechs()` | Returns a list of mechanisms supported by this credential.
`abstract Oid[]` | GSSManager.`getMechs()` | Returns a list of mechanisms that are available to GSS-API callers through this GSSManager.
`abstract Oid[]` | GSSManager.`getMechsForName​(Oid nameType)` | Returns a list of mechanisms that support the indicated name type.
`abstract Oid[]` | GSSManager.`getNamesForMech​(Oid mech)` | Returns then name types supported by the indicated mechanism.
`Oid` | GSSName.`getStringNameType()` | Returns the name type of the printable representation of this name that can be obtained from the `toString` method.

Methods in org.ietf.jgss with parameters of type Oid
Modifier and Type | Method | Description
--- | --- | ---
`void` | GSSCredential.`add​(GSSName name, int initLifetime, int acceptLifetime, Oid mech, int usage)` | Adds a mechanism specific credential-element to an existing credential.
`abstract void` | GSSManager.`addProviderAtEnd​(Provider p, Oid mech)` | This method is used to indicate to the GSSManager that the application would like a particular provider to be used if no other provider can be found that supports the given mechanism.
`abstract void` | GSSManager.`addProviderAtFront​(Provider p, Oid mech)` | This method is used to indicate to the GSSManager that the application would like a particular provider to be used ahead of all others when support is desired for the given mechanism.
`GSSName` | GSSName.`canonicalize​(Oid mech)` | Creates a name that is canonicalized for some mechanism.
`boolean` | Oid.`containedIn​(Oid[] oids)` | A utility method to test if this Oid value is contained within the supplied Oid array.
`abstract GSSContext` | GSSManager.`createContext​(GSSName peer, Oid mech, GSSCredential myCred, int lifetime)` | Factory method for creating a context on the initiator's side.
`abstract GSSCredential` | GSSManager.`createCredential​(GSSName name, int lifetime, Oid[] mechs, int usage)` | Factory method for acquiring credentials over a set of mechanisms.
`abstract GSSCredential` | GSSManager.`createCredential​(GSSName name, int lifetime, Oid mech, int usage)` | Factory method for acquiring a single mechanism credential.
`abstract GSSName` | GSSManager.`createName​(byte[] name, Oid nameType)` | Factory method to convert a byte array containing a name from the specified namespace to a GSSName object.
`abstract GSSName` | GSSManager.`createName​(byte[] name, Oid nameType, Oid mech)` | Factory method to convert a byte array containing a name from the specified namespace to a GSSName object and canonicalize it at the same time for a mechanism.
`abstract GSSName` | GSSManager.`createName​(String nameStr, Oid nameType)` | Factory method to convert a string name from the specified namespace to a GSSName object.
`abstract GSSName` | GSSManager.`createName​(String nameStr, Oid nameType, Oid mech)` | Factory method to convert a string name from the specified namespace to a GSSName object and canonicalize it at the same time for a mechanism.
`abstract Oid[]` | GSSManager.`getMechsForName​(Oid nameType)` | Returns a list of mechanisms that support the indicated name type.
`GSSName` | GSSCredential.`getName​(Oid mech)` | Retrieves a Mechanism Name of the entity that the credential asserts.
`abstract Oid[]` | GSSManager.`getNamesForMech​(Oid mech)` | Returns then name types supported by the indicated mechanism.
`int` | GSSCredential.`getRemainingAcceptLifetime​(Oid mech)` | Returns the lifetime in seconds for the credential to remain capable of accepting security contexts using the specified mechanism.
`int` | GSSCredential.`getRemainingInitLifetime​(Oid mech)` | Returns the lifetime in seconds for the credential to remain capable of initiating security contexts using the specified mechanism.
`int` | GSSCredential.`getUsage​(Oid mech)` | Returns the credential usage mode for a specific mechanism.
