/**
 * <p> The <code>LoginContext</code> class describes the basic methods used
 * to authenticate Subjects and provides a way to develop an
 * application independent of the underlying authentication technology.
 * A <code>Configuration</code> specifies the authentication technology, or
 * <code>LoginModule</code>, to be used with a particular application.
 * Different LoginModules can be plugged in under an application
 * without requiring any modifications to the application itself.
 *
 * <p> In addition to supporting <i>pluggable</i> authentication, this class
 * also supports the notion of <i>stacked</i> authentication.
 * Applications may be configured to use more than one
 * LoginModule.  For example, one could
 * configure both a Kerberos LoginModule and a smart card
 * LoginModule under an application.
 *
 * <p> A typical caller instantiates a LoginContext with
 * a <i>name</i> and a <code>CallbackHandler</code>.
 * LoginContext uses the <i>name</i> as the index into a
 * Configuration to determine which LoginModules should be used,
 * and which ones must succeed in order for the overall authentication to
 * succeed.  The <code>CallbackHandler</code> is passed to the underlying
 * LoginModules so they may communicate and interact with users
 * (prompting for a username and password via a graphical user interface,
 * for example).
 *
 * <p> Once the caller has instantiated a LoginContext,
 * it invokes the <code>login</code> method to authenticate
 * a <code>Subject</code>.  The <code>login</code> method invokes
 * the configured modules to perform their respective types of authentication
 * (username/password, smart card pin verification, etc.).
 * Note that the LoginModules will not attempt authentication retries nor
 * introduce delays if the authentication fails.
 * Such tasks belong to the LoginContext caller.
 *
 * <p> If the <code>login</code> method returns without
 * throwing an exception, then the overall authentication succeeded.
 * The caller can then retrieve
 * the newly authenticated Subject by invoking the
 * <code>getSubject</code> method.  Principals and Credentials associated
 * with the Subject may be retrieved by invoking the Subject's
 * respective <code>getPrincipals</code>, <code>getPublicCredentials</code>,
 * and <code>getPrivateCredentials</code> methods.
 *
 * <p> To logout the Subject, the caller calls
 * the <code>logout</code> method.  As with the <code>login</code>
 * method, this <code>logout</code> method invokes the <code>logout</code>
 * method for the configured modules.
 *
 * <p> A LoginContext should not be used to authenticate
 * more than one Subject.  A separate LoginContext
 * should be used to authenticate each different Subject.
 *
 * <p> The following documentation applies to all LoginContext constructors:
 * <ol>
 *
 * <li> <code>Subject</code>
 * <ul>
 * <li> If the constructor has a Subject
 * input parameter, the LoginContext uses the caller-specified
 * Subject object.
 * <p>
 * <li> If the caller specifies a <code>null</code> Subject
 * and a <code>null</code> value is permitted,
 * the LoginContext instantiates a new Subject.
 * <p>
 * <li> If the constructor does <b>not</b> have a Subject
 * input parameter, the LoginContext instantiates a new Subject.
 * <p>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <li> <code>Configuration</code>
 * <ul>
 * <li> If the constructor has a Configuration
 * input parameter and the caller specifies a non-null Configuration,
 * the LoginContext uses the caller-specified Configuration.
 * <p>
 * If the constructor does <b>not</b> have a Configuration
 * input parameter, or if the caller specifies a <code>null</code>
 * Configuration object, the constructor uses the following call to
 * get the installed Configuration:
 * <pre>
 *      config = Configuration.getConfiguration();
 * </pre>
 * For both cases,
 * the <i>name</i> argument given to the constructor is passed to the
 * <code>Configuration.getAppConfigurationEntry</code> method.
 * If the Configuration has no entries for the specified <i>name</i>,
 * then the <code>LoginContext</code> calls
 * <code>getAppConfigurationEntry</code> with the name, "<i>other</i>"
 * (the default entry name).  If there is no entry for "<i>other</i>",
 * then a <code>LoginException</code> is thrown.
 * <p>
 * <li> When LoginContext uses the installed Configuration, the caller
 * requires the createLoginContext.<em>name</em> and possibly
 * createLoginContext.other AuthPermissions. Furthermore, the
 * LoginContext will invoke configured modules from within an
 * <code>AccessController.doPrivileged</code> call so that modules that
 * perform security-sensitive tasks (such as connecting to remote hosts,
 * and updating the Subject) will require the respective permissions, but
 * the callers of the LoginContext will not require those permissions.
 * <p>
 * <li> When LoginContext uses a caller-specified Configuration, the caller
 * does not require any createLoginContext AuthPermission.  The LoginContext
 * saves the <code>AccessControlContext</code> for the caller,
 * and invokes the configured modules from within an
 * <tt>AccessController.doPrivileged</tt> call constrained by that context.
 * This means the caller context (stored when the LoginContext was created)
 * must have sufficient permissions to perform any security-sensitive tasks
 * that the modules may perform.
 * <p>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <li> <code>CallbackHandler</code>
 * <ul>
 * <li> If the constructor has a CallbackHandler
 * input parameter, the LoginContext uses the caller-specified
 * CallbackHandler object.
 * <p>
 * <li> If the constructor does <b>not</b> have a CallbackHandler
 * input parameter, or if the caller specifies a <code>null</code>
 * CallbackHandler object (and a <code>null</code> value is permitted),
 * the LoginContext queries the
 * <i>auth.login.defaultCallbackHandler</i> security property
 * for the fully qualified class name of a default handler implementation.
 * If the security property is not set,
 * then the underlying modules will not have a
 * CallbackHandler for use in communicating
 * with users.  The caller thus assumes that the configured
 * modules have alternative means for authenticating the user.
 *
 * <p>
 * <li> When the LoginContext uses the installed Configuration (instead of
 * a caller-specified Configuration, see above),
 * then this LoginContext must wrap any
 * caller-specified or default CallbackHandler implementation
 * in a new CallbackHandler implementation
 * whose <code>handle</code> method implementation invokes the
 * specified CallbackHandler's <code>handle</code> method in a
 * <code>java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged</code> call
 * constrained by the caller's current <code>AccessControlContext</code>.
 * </ul>
 * </ol>
 *
 * <p> Note that Security Properties
 * (such as <code>auth.login.defaultCallbackHandler</code>)
 * can be set programmatically via the
 * <code>java.security.Security</code> class,
 * or statically in the Java security properties file located in the
 * file named &lt;JAVA_HOME&gt;/lib/security/java.security.
 * &lt;JAVA_HOME&gt; refers to the value of the java.home system property,
 * and specifies the directory where the JRE is installed.

     * <code>Configuration</code>.  Each <code>LoginModule</code>
     * then performs its respective type of authentication
     * (username/password, smart card pin verification, etc.).
     *
     * <p> This method completes a 2-phase authentication process by
     * calling each configured LoginModule's <code>commit</code> method
     * if the overall authentication succeeded (the relevant REQUIRED,
     * REQUISITE, SUFFICIENT, and OPTIONAL LoginModules succeeded),
     * or by calling each configured LoginModule's <code>abort</code> method
     * if the overall authentication failed.  If authentication succeeded,
     * each successful LoginModule's <code>commit</code> method associates
     * the relevant Principals and Credentials with the <code>Subject</code>.
     * If authentication failed, each LoginModule's <code>abort</code> method
     * removes/destroys any previously stored state.
     *
     * <p> If the <code>commit</code> phase of the authentication process
     * fails, then the overall authentication fails and this method
     * invokes the <code>abort</code> method for each configured
     * <code>LoginModule</code>.
     *
     * <p> If the <code>abort</code> phase
     * fails for any reason, then this method propagates the
     * original exception thrown either during the <code>login</code> phase
     * or the <code>commit</code> phase.  In either case, the overall
     * authentication fails.
     *
     * <p> In the case where multiple LoginModules fail,
     * this method propagates the exception raised by the first
     * <code>LoginModule</code> which failed.
     *
     * <p> Note that if this method enters the <code>abort</code> phase
     * (either the <code>login</code> or <code>commit</code> phase failed),
     * this method invokes all LoginModules configured for the
     * application regardless of their respective <code>Configuration</code>
     * flag parameters.  Essentially this means that <code>Requisite</code>
     * and <code>Sufficient</code> semantics are ignored during the
     * <code>abort</code> phase.  This guarantees that proper cleanup
     * and state restoration can take place.
