This interface defines the common functionality implemented by Authentication context configuration objects.

This interface is implemented by objects that can be used to obtain authentication context configuration objects i.e., ClientAuthConfig or ServerAuthConfig objects. 

This interface encapsulates the configuration of ClientAuthContext objects for a message layer and application context (e.g., the messaging context of a specific application, or set of applications).

Implementations of this interface are returned by an AuthConfigProvider.

Callers interact with a ClientAuthConfig to obtain ClientAuthContext objects suitable for processing a given message exchange at the layer and within the application context of the ClientAuthConfig. 

This ClientAuthContext class encapsulates ClientAuthModules that are used to secure service requests made by a client, and to validate any responses received to those requests. 

A Listener that may associated with a provider registration by a user of the registration. 

This interface describes a configuration of ServerAuthConfiguration objects for a message layer and application context (e.g., the messaging context of a specific application, or set of applications).

Implementations of this interface are returned by an AnthConfigProvider. 

This ServerAuthContext class encapsulates ServerAuthModules that are used to secure requests made as a client. 

This class is used to obtain AuthConfigProvider objects that can be used to obtain authentication context configuration objects, i.e., ClientAuthConfig and ServerAuthConfig objects.
