Interface TicketValidator

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractTicketValidator, CasProxyTicketValidator

public interface TicketValidator

Validates a CAS service ticket.

Implementations must accept CAS proxy tickets, in addition to CAS service tickets. If proxy tickets should be rejected, this is resolved by a CasProxyDecider implementation (not by the TicketValidator).

Implementations may request a proxy granting ticket if wish, although this behaviour is not mandatory.
