This was for legacy reasons that were > NiFi-specific relating to avoiding inclusion of servlet jars in the > dependency for the identity provider api module. > This is not a constraint for Registry (or NiFi any more apparently), so this > ticket is to refactor this interface to be more general by authenticating a > ServletRequest object, which would open implementations up to supporting more > ways of the client passing in the identity claim (eg, cookie value). -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
