Interface AuthenticationTransactionManager

public interface AuthenticationTransactionManager

The AuthenticationTransactionManager deals exclusively with authentication concepts e.g. Credentials, Principals, producing valid Authentication objects. It is invoked repeatedly with distinct credential type(s) for interactive multi-staged authn flows that would authenticate at each step as opposed to gather all credentials and send them for authentication in one batch.
