Interface PeerAuthenticator
public interface PeerAuthenticator
Peer authenticators aim to verify the peer and run before Authenticator. It returns false
if authentication failed and stops handling the rest of the request; true if authentication
succeeds and continue to execute rest of peer authenticators.
If no peer authenticator is set, EndpointsPeerAuthenticator will be the default to verify
the request is from Google. If you supply your own peer authenticator, make sure you also put
EndpointsPeerAuthenticator to the head of peerAuthenticators list to verify the request
is from Google.
