Developing token processors

You can create a token processor by implementing the TokenProcessor interface.

The following Java packages are required for implementing the TokenProcessor interface:

For each token-processor implementation, in addition to the methods described under Shared plugin interfaces, you must define the TokenContext processToken(T token) method.

PingFederate invokes the processToken() method when processing a security token service (STS) request to perform necessary operations for determining the validity of a token. The type parameter T must extend, at a minimum, the type SecurityToken. The type BinarySecurityToken is also available to represent custom security tokens that can be transported as Base64-encoded data.
