Claim 7:
8. A computer implemented method for authorizing a request from a client, the computer implemented method comprising:
receiving, at a first validator, a dispatch datagram from a dispatcher, wherein the received dispatch datagram includes the request for a first service in a distributed system wrapped together with an authorization header that includes one or more rules for handling the request specifying which services in the distributed system call one another, and wherein the first validator is adapted to provide access to the first service, wherein the first validator exists on a layer outside of the first service to decouple authorization of the request from a workload of the request;
separating the request and the authorization header from the dispatch datagram; and
determining, by the first validator, whether the first service is authorized to receive the request based on a comparison of the authorization header to a parameter of the first service to verify that the first service is authorized by the dispatcher to receive the request as indicated by the authorization header.
