Interface OAuth2TokenIntrospectionClient

All Known Implementing Classes:

NimbusOAuth2TokenIntrospectionClient

public interface OAuth2TokenIntrospectionClient

A client to an OAuth 2.0 Introspection Endpoint. Basically, this client is handy when a resource server authenticates opaque OAuth 2.0 tokens. It's also nice when a resource server simply can't decode tokens - whether the tokens are opaque or not - and would prefer to delegate that task to an authorization server.

Since:

5.2
