Interface IdentityAsserter

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultIdentityAsserter, JAASIdentityAsserter

public interface IdentityAsserter

IdentityAsserter validates a token in order to establish a user's identity. The token is an identity assertion, a statement that asserts an identity.

A token is opaque to Coherence. It could be a standard type such as a SAML Assertion or a proprietary type.

Since:

Coherence 3.6

                                           throws java.lang.SecurityException
