Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):

When a client attempts to authenticate with the API server using a bearer token as discussed
[above](#putting-a-bearer-token-in-a-request), the authentication webhook POSTs a JSON-serialized
`TokenReview` object containing the token to the remote service.
Note that webhook API objects are subject to the same [versioning compatibility rules](/docs/concepts/overview/kubernetes-api/)
as other Kubernetes API objects. Implementers should check the `apiVersion` field of the request to ensure correct deserialization,
and **must** respond with a `TokenReview` object of the same version as the request.
{{< tabs name="TokenReview_request" >}}
{{% tab name="authentication.k8s.io/v1" %}}
{{< note >}}
The Kubernetes API server defaults to sending `authentication.k8s.io/v1beta1` token reviews for backwards compatibility.
To opt into receiving `authentication.k8s.io/v1` token reviews, the API server
```
{ "apiVersion": "authentication.k8s.io/v1", "kind": "TokenReview", "spec": { # Opaque bearer token sent to the API server "token": "014fbff9a07c...",

The remote service is expected to fill the `status` field of the request to indicate the success of the login.
The response body's `spec` field is ignored and may be omitted.
The remote service must return a response using the same `TokenReview` API version that it received.
A successful validation of the bearer token would return:
{{< tabs name="TokenReview_response_success" >}}
{{% tab name="authentication.k8s.io/v1" %}}
