    Maximum number of server nonces to keep in the cache. If not specified, the default value of 1000 is used.

  - ### nonceCountWindowSize

    protected int nonceCountWindowSize
    The window size to use to track seen nonce count values for a given nonce. If not specified, the default of 100 is used.

  - ### key

    protected String key
    Private key.

  - ### nonceValidity

    protected long nonceValidity
    How long server nonces are valid for in milliseconds. Defaults to 5 minutes.

  - ### opaque

    protected String opaque
    Opaque string.

  - ### validateUri

    protected boolean validateUri
    Should the URI be validated as required by RFC2617? Can be disabled in reverse proxies where the proxy has modified the URI.
