> A simple REST service is needed to perform centralized authentication and authorization of incoming requests. Combined with nginx's external authentication capability it allows for every request to be checked for valid authentication before being forwarded to the upstream service.
> If a valid principal is found, a header is added to the response, by default {{X-Knox-Actor-ID}}, with the principal. In addition, if the authenticated subject has groups, these are added into comma-separated headers of the default form {{X-Knox-Actor-Groups-num}}. Each group header has a character limit of 1000 to keep them reasonably sized. The header names can be customized via configuration properties.
