Custom Authorizer #20

Closed dhiman-halder closed 8 years ago

dhiman-halder commented 8 years ago

Now that AWS API Gateway has introduced Custom Authorizer, does the approach described here change in anyway ?

No. Sigv4 continues to work exactly as it did before. Customer authorizers allow you to leverage bearer tokens such as JWT tokens or SAML assertions. It's an alternative approach.
