Access Token Validator

Note: this is an abstract component that cannot be instantiated.

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.

Access Token Validators are used to validate an access token that may be used to access protected resources of the PingAuthorize Server. An Access Token Validator is responsible for decoding the token and returning token metadata such as described in RFC 7662.
