All Known Implementing Classes:
AuthenticatorBase, DigestAuthenticator, BasicAuthenticator, FormAuthenticator, NonLoginAuthenticator, SSLAuthenticator
An
Authenticator is a component (usually a Valve or Container) that
provides some sort of authentication service. The interface itself has no
functional significance, but is used as a tagging mechanism so that other
components can detect the presence (via an "instanceof Authenticator" test)
of an already configured authentication service.
