## Class AuthorizationHeaderFilter

- java.lang.Object
- - org.wso2.carbon.webapp.mgt.filter.AuthorizationHeaderFilter

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    javax.servlet.Filter

      @WebFilter(value="/AuthorizationHeaderFilter")
      public class AuthorizationHeaderFilter
      extends Object
      implements javax.servlet.Filter

  Servlet Filter implementation class for authorization header validation. This handles the NPE thrown by CXF transport exposing the stack-trace and server information to the end user for authorization headers with invalid encoded json data by sending a proper error response back to the user. If there is more than single space between auth_type and json data this will modify the header to be in correct format and pass the request along the filter chain.
  Since:
    4.7.6
