Package jakarta.security.auth.message.module

Interface ServerAuthModule

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.
