/** | |
* Support for <em>PAM</em>, or <b>P</b>luggable <b>A</b>uthentication <b>M</b>odules, which is | |
* the capability to authenticate a user against multiple configurable (pluggable) <em>modules</em> (JSecurity | |
* calls these {@link org.jsecurity.realm.Realm Realm}s). | |
* <p/> | |
* The primary class of interest here is the {@link org.jsecurity.authc.pam.ModularRealmAuthenticator ModularRealmAuthenticator} | |
* which is an <code>Authenticator</code> implementation that coordinates authentication attempts across | |
* one or more Realm instances. | |
* <p/> | |
* How the <code>ModularRealmAuthenticator</code> actually coordinates this behavior is configurable based on your | |
* application's needs using an injectible | |
* {@link AuthenticationStrategy}. | |
