IdentityAsserter (Java API Reference for Oracle® Coherence Community Edition)

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultIdentityAsserter, JAASIdentityAsserter
```
public interface IdentityAsserter
```
IdentityAsserter validates a token in order to establish a user's identity. The token is an identity assertion, a statement that asserts an identity.
A token is opaque to Coherence. It could be a standard type such as a SAML Assertion or a proprietary type.

Coherence 3.6
