Interface SecurityContextFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:
DefaultSecurityContextFactory
public interface SecurityContextFactory
A SecurityContextFactory returns a SecurityContext instance that retains a client connection's Subject instance.

It should be noted that at the time a SecurityContextFactory is invoked, a Subject is already associated with the client connection. A SecurityContextFactory is merely responsible for creating a Shiro-specific SecurityContext instance.

The returned SecurityContext instance will then be made available to any downstream Broker Filters via connectionContext.getSecurityContext() to ensure it may be used for Shiro-based security checks.

Since:
5.10.0
