/**
 * 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 overriding {@link
 * #getPasswordAuthentication()} in a sub-class. This method will
 * typically use the various getXXX() accessor methods to get information
 * about the entity requesting authentication. It must then acquire a
 * username and password either by interacting with the user or through
 * some other non-interactive means. The credentials are then returned
 * as a {@link PasswordAuthentication} return value.
 * <p>
 * An instance of this concrete sub-class is then registered
 * with the system by calling {@link #setDefault(Authenticator)}.
 * When authentication is required, the system will invoke one of the
 * requestPasswordAuthentication() methods which in turn will call the
 * getPasswordAuthentication() method of the registered object.
 * <p>
 * All methods that request authentication have a default implementation
 * that fails.
