Description

The JwtInterceptor intercepts HTTP requests and inserts an Authorization header field into the request before it is sent to its target. The Authorization header field is added as

Authorization: <type> <token>

where:

  • <type> is configurable using the authScheme parameter and is set by default to 'Bearer'. Other schemes may be used such as 'Basic' or 'Digest'.
  • <token> is the string result obtained from observing the result of calling tokenGetter(). This is the JWT token that the service will authorise the user using.
