/**
* Authentication and Authorization service interfaces and classes. There are three components:
*
*
* - Authentication. Authentication is the process of verifying a user. Custom authentication implementations can be created by extending the {@link org.jivesoftware.openfire.auth.AuthProvider} interface.
* - Authorization. Authorization is the process of allowing an authenticated identity to choose a username. Default authorization will authorize an authenticated username to the same username only. Custom authorization implementations can be created by extending the {@link org.jivesoftware.openfire.auth.AuthorizationPolicy} interface.
* - Authorization Mapping. Mapping occurs when the client did not request any specific username. This provides a method of giving a default username in these situations. Custom authorization mappings can be created by extending the {@link org.jivesoftware.openfire.auth.AuthorizationMapping} interface.
