-A client is authenticated when it connects, with valid credentials, to a <%=vars.product_name%> cache server that is configured with the client `Authenticator` callback.
+A client is authenticated when it connects with valid credentials to a <%=vars.product_name%> cache server that is configured with the client `Authenticator` callback.
+For details on the server's role in authentication and what it expects from the client, see [Implementing Authentication](geodeman/managing/security/implementing_authentication.html) in the *<%=vars.product_name%> User Guide*.
 
 Examples of various implementations can be found in the Native Client source distribution's `../templates/security` directory.
 
-An `AuthenticationRequiredException` is thrown when the server is configured with security and the
-client does not present its credentials while attempting to connect.
-
 In your application, authentication credentials must be set when creating the cache. In practice,
 this means setting the authentication credentials when you create the CacheFactory.
