Resteasy security interceptor - how to obtain client IP address inside interceptor?

Question

I have implemented an interceptor to carry out a security check on the client IP address with the following annotations - @Provider @ServerInterceptor @Precedence(\"SECURITY\")<

Answer 1

The client IP address is available from the request object. But you can't use that for security purposes as it isn't unique per client: it might just be the address of the nearest proxy, even your own.
