/**
* 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.
*
* 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.
*
* All methods that request authentication have a default implementation
* that fails.
