        Acteur Cookie Auth API
    
    
        
            This is an API which makes it trivial to add cookie-based authentication
            to acteur-based web applications, as opposed to using HTTP basic
            authentication.  Code that was using the @Authenticated
            (or deprecated @BasicAuth) annotation need not be
            modified - the new authentication scheme can be used transparently.
        
        
            To use cookie authentication, the following changes are needed in an
            application that formerly used HTTP Basic Authentication and the
            @Authenticated annotation:
        
        
            
                Add HTTP endpoints for logging in and logging out.  The login
                endpoint should expect a JSON request body containing the fields
                username and password, and list a
                LoginActeur in its 
                @Precursors annotation.  The logout endpoint
                should do the same with 
                LogoutActeur.
            
            Implement UserFinder and
                pass the implementation type to the constructor of a 
                CookieAuthModule which
                should be used by Guice.
