Denied Reason Advice

Note: this component stores cluster-wide configuration data and is mirrored across all servers in the topology within the the same cluster.

Note: changes to cluster-wide configuration objects are immediately and automatically mirrored across all servers within the same cluster, so offline changes are not supported.

Advice that allows a policy writer to provide an error message containing the reason that a request has been denied.

The payload for this advice is a JSON object string with three fields. The "status" field is optional and contains the HTTP status code that should be returned to the client. If not present the default status is 403 Forbidden. The "message" field contains a short error message that is returned to the client, and the optional "detail" field may contain additional, more detailed error information. The following example could be returned for a request made with insufficient scope: {"status":403, "message":"insufficient_scope", "detail":"Requested operation not allowed by the granted OAuth scopes."}
