Class	Description
AsyncServerAuthContext	An asynchronous interface counterpart for the ServerAuthContext.
AsyncServerAuthModule	An asynchronous interface counterpart for the ServerAuthModule.
AuthContextWithState	AsyncServerAuthContext implementations should implement this interface when the AsyncServerAuthContext has its own implementation of a AuthenticationState that it will be using to store and maintain state for a single request.
AuthenticationException	A generic authentication exception which accepts a detail message and/or the cause.
AuthenticationState	Maintains state information and provides to retrieve values in a type safe manner.
AuthenticationStateException	An exception that is thrown during AuthenticationState operations.
MessageContext	The authentication framework uses this MessageContext to pass messages and message processing state to authentication contexts for processing by authentication modules.
MessageInfoContext	The authentication framework uses this MessageContextInfo to pass messages and message processing state to authentication modules for processing of messages.
