----------------------------------

Hi [~kamrul] - this looks pretty good at first glance.
I will need to test it in the next day or so and review in greater detail.

This will be a really nice improvement for establishing trust in various ways before accepting the asserted identity from the header.

> Currently there are two validators : IPValidator, DefaultValidator, IPValidator validates the source IP.   DefaultValidator is basically a no-auth.
> The proposal is to provide a pluggable validator to support any custom validation logic. Another requirement is to maintain the backward compatibility of any existing features.
