Description

Currently the code that does token verification (JWT) rests in a Filter class - AbstractJWTFilter.

It is difficult for other components within Knox to access this code. For Webshell feature we need to be able to access this code from within the Websocket handler. Currently, the only way to solve this is by code duplication. The objective of this effort is to consolidate the token verification code in one place where any component can access this code.
