process

public byte[] process(byte[] request,
             Map<String,Object> metadata,
             RequestProcessor.Request vapiRequest)

Description copied from interface: RequestProcessor

Processes and possibly modifies the provided request byte array

Specified by:

process in interface RequestProcessor

Parameters:

request - must not be null. If text is passed as it MUST be UTF-8 encoded.

metadata - provides additional metadata to the processor that will be passed to the rest of the processor chain. Must not be null. The content under the RequestProcessor.SECURITY_PROC_METADATA_KEY key will be put in the request's ExecutionContext.SecurityContext under the same key i.e. will be accessible by the authentication handlers.

vapiRequest - the vapi request structure. Must not be null.

Returns:

the result of the processor. Must not be null. If text is returned it MUST be UTF-8 encoded.

isSchemeSupported

public abstract boolean isSchemeSupported(String requestedScheme)

Parameters:

requestedScheme - the authentication scheme that is used with the current security context

Returns:

true if the processor is able to handle the requested scheme, false otherwise

getSecurityContextProperties

public abstract Map<String,Object> getSecurityContextProperties(ExecutionContext.SecurityContext ctx)

Parameters:

ctx - the current security context. cannot be null.

Returns:

map of the data that should be serialized as part of the security context. The security context is permitted to contain only Maps, Arrays and Strings. cannot be null.
