## org.apache.http.impl.client
Class DefaultUserTokenHandler

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultUserTokenHandler

All Implemented Interfaces:
  UserTokenHandler

    @Immutable
    public class DefaultUserTokenHandler

extends Object
implements UserTokenHandler

Default implementation of `UserTokenHandler`. This class will use an instance of `Principal` as a state object for HTTP connections, if it can be obtained from the given execution context. This helps ensure persistent connections created with a particular user identity within a particular security context can be reused by the same user only.

DefaultUserTokenHandler will use the user principle of connection based authentication schemes such as NTLM or that of the SSL session with the client authentication turned on. If both are unavailable, `null` token will be returned.

Since:
  4.0
