public interface RoleBasedAuthzTokenParser
extends AuthzTokenParser

This is the interface to the Role Based parser of Authorisation Tokens. The setRoleHierarchy method should be called before parsing can be performed, because the object will surely need the policy to at least verify that the roles extracted from the token, are defined.

Method Summary

void	setRoleHierarchy(RoleHierarchyPolicy rhp) Sets the Role Hierarchy Policy.
