 * The class Authenticator represents an object that knows how to obtain
 * authentication for a network connection.  Usually, it will do this
 * by prompting the user for information.
 * <p>
 * Applications use this class by creating a subclass, and registering
 * an instance of that subclass with the session when it is created.
 * When authentication is required, the system will invoke a method
 * on the subclass (like getPasswordAuthentication).  The subclass's
 * method can query about the authentication being requested with a
 * number of inherited methods (getRequestingXXX()), and form an
 * appropriate message for the user.
 * <p>
 * All methods that request authentication have a default implementation
 * that fails.
