## Detailed Description

A "Principal" identifies an authenticated entity in the network administration framework.

Identities are used to control acccess (authorization) as well as in audit trails (accountability).

Note:
  This CORBA feature has been deprecated by the OMG. Use the CORBA Security Service instead.
