# FapiAuthorizeFilterChain

A filter chain to validate authorize requests and make sure they comply with the following FAPI specifications:

* [Financial-grade API Security Profile 1.0 - Part 1: Baseline](https://openid.net/specs/openid-financial-api-part-1-1_0.html#authorization-server)

* [Financial-grade API Security Profile 1.0 - Part 2: Advanced](https://openid.net/specs/openid-financial-api-part-2-1_0.html)

Put this filter before other filters to reject requests that would result in creating an OAuth 2.0 client that doesn't comply with the FAPI specifications.

## Usage

```none
{
    "name": string,
    "type": "FapiAuthorizeFilterChain",
    "config": {
        "forwardedHost": string,
        "apiClientService": ApiClientService reference,
        "auditService": AuditService reference
    }
}
```

## Properties

* `"forwardedHost"`: *[string](preface.html#definition-string), required*

  The forwarded host added to the endpoint request.

* `"apiClientService"`: *ApiClientService [reference](preface.html#definition-reference), required*

  The `ApiClientService` to retrieve the API client, such as an [IdmApiClientService](IdmApiClientService.html).

* `"auditService"`: *AuditService [reference](preface.html#definition-reference), optional*

  The [AuditService](AuditService.html) to record audit events. Provide either the name of an AuditService object defined in the heap or an inline AuditService configuration object.

  Default: No audit service.

## Example

```json
{
    "name": "fapiAuthorizeFilterChain",
    "type": "FapiAuthorizeFilterChain",
    "config": {
        "forwardedHost" : "&{as.fqdn}"
    }
}
```
