Attribute Mapping Policy Validation Filter

This filter will validate attribute mapping policies in requests to the origin service.

The origin service is expected to be an Identity service. This filter will only take action if the HTTP request method is PUT.

Additional Information

Since this filter will act on all requests it receives, it is recommended to only add this filter to the filter chain for endpoints that expect an attribute mapping policy body. The System Model provides a mechanism to construct conditional filter chains based on the request URI.
