I started from implementation of the ktor-swagger library https://github.com/nielsfalk/ktor-swagger This library manages security specifications globally. I would like to integrate it with the specific definition for each individual route. https://swagger.io/docs/specification/authentication/ This library uses a wrapper built around ktor locations and builds the swagger / openapi tree at runtime. What I was asking is if there is the possibility to intercept if a Route is declared under authenticate (...) or not to pass this information to the library structure.
