Interface ServerAuthModule

Contents
  • All Superinterfaces:
    ServerAuth

    public interface ServerAuthModule
extends ServerAuth
    A ServerAuthModule validates client requests and secures responses to the client.

    A module implementation should assume it may be used to secure different requests as different clients. A module should also assume it may be used concurrently by multiple callers. It is the module implementation's responsibility to properly save and restore any state as necessary. A module that does not need to do so may remain completely stateless.

    Every implementation of the interface must provide a public zero argument constructor.
