- Added the ability to set expectations when parsing a JWT which enforces a particular claim having a particular value
|
#### Enforce JWT Values when Parsing
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We added the ability to set expectations when parsing a JWT which ensures particular claims having particular values.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For example, let's say that you require that the JWT you are parsing has a specific `sub` (subject) value,
|
||||||
|
otherwise you may not trust the token. You can do that by using one of the `require` methods on the parser builder:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```java
|
||||||
|
try {
|
||||||
|
Jwts.parser().requireSubject("jsmith").setSigningKey(key).parseClaimsJws(s);
|
||||||
|
} catch(InvalidClaimException ice) {
|
||||||
|
// the sub field was missing or did not have a 'jsmith' value
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If it is important to react to a missing vs an incorrect value, instead of catching `InvalidClaimException`, you can catch either `MissingClaimException` or `IncorrectClaimException`:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```java
|
||||||
|
try {
|
||||||
|
Jwts.parser().requireSubject("jsmith").setSigningKey(key).parseClaimsJws(s);
|
||||||
|
} catch(MissingClaimException mce) {
|
||||||
|
// the parsed JWT did not have the sub field
|
||||||
|
} catch(IncorrectClaimException ice) {
|
||||||
|
// the parsed JWT had a sub field, but its value was not equal to 'jsmith'
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can also require custom fields by using the `require(name, requiredValue)` method - for example:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```java
|
||||||
|
try {
|
||||||
|
Jwts.parser().require("myfield", "myRequiredValue").setSigningKey(key).parseClaimsJws(s);
|
||||||
|
} catch(InvalidClaimException ice) {
|
||||||
|
// the 'myfield' field was missing or did not have a 'myRequiredValue' value
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
(or, again, you could catch either MissingClaimException or IncorrectClaimException instead)
