/**
 * 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.
