/**
 * ModeShape JCR repositories have a pluggable authentication and authorization framework. Out of the box, each repository
 * is configured to support authenticating and authorizing using JAAS, HTTP servlet (if the servlet library is on the classpath), and (if configured) anonymous logins.
 * In addition, Each repository can also be configured with customzied authenticators.
 * 
 * Creating a custom authenticator is a matter of properly implementing {@link org.modeshape.jcr.security.AuthenticationProvider}
 * and configuring the repository to use that class. Each authenticator is responsible for authenticating the supplied
 * {@link javax.jcr.Credentials} and returning an ExecutionContext that will represent the user, including
 * its embedded {@link org.modeshape.jcr.security.SecurityContext} (for simple role-based authorization) or {@link org.modeshape.jcr.security.AuthorizationProvider} (for a combination of path- and role-based authorization).
