Mock Access Token Validator

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.

Mock Access Token Validators accept access tokens without validating the token's authenticity using a trusted authorization server or signing certificate. Mock Access Token Validators are intended for test use only and should never be enabled in production deployments or used to access sensitive data.

Bearer tokens accepted by the Mock Access Token Validator are plain text JSON objects. For example:
{"active":true,"sub":"user1","scope":"profile","client_id":"client1"}

In general, arbitrary access token claims may be used, and access token validity is solely determined by policies. Note that default policies require a boolean 'active' claim with a value of 'true'. The token owner is determined by the Access Token Validator's Token Resource Lookup Methods.

evaluation-order-index

Description
When multiple Mock Access Token Validators are defined for a single Data Governance Server, this property determines the evaluation order for determining the correct validator class for an access token received by the Data Governance Server. Values of this property must be unique among all Mock Access Token Validators defined within Data Governance Server but not necessarily contiguous. Mock Access Token Validators with a smaller value will be evaluated first to determine if they are able to validate the access token.
