Description

Allar Saarnak (Migrated from SEC-3119) said:

Currently it's not possible to extend SecurityContextChannelInterceptor, because it's final.
Extending SecurityContextChannelInterceptor would be useful for authenticating from custom headers, like custom token.
Useful when overriding method: org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.socket.AbstractSecurityWebSocketMessageBrokerConfigurer#securityContextChannelInterceptor

Research direction

Start with SecurityContextChannelInterceptor and the securityContextChannelInterceptor override point in AbstractSecurityWebSocketMessageBrokerConfigurer. Check how the interceptor is declared and how WebSocket message security configures it; done means custom subclasses can support custom-header authentication without breaking existing behavior.
