Claim forwarding mechanism

To forward Claims from a client to a server, serialize your Claims and include them in a client request. Some data type conversion may be needed after deserialization.

To serialize your Claims, offer them either to the existing Java or .NET serializer, or create one yourself. The Java or .NET serializer turns your Claims into one or more cookies in JSON format.

When you include these cookies in a client request, they are automatically deserialized on the server. Because serialization and deserialization may change the data type of your data, you may need to convert the data type of the deserialized Claims on the server.
