/**
 * Client-side object which queries a  {@link RemoteAuthenticationManager} to validate an authentication request.<p>A

 * object's <code>principal</code>, <code>credentials</code> and the <code>GrantedAuthority</code>[]s returned by the
 * <code>RemoteAuthenticationManager</code>.</p>
 *  <p>The <code>RemoteAuthenticationManager</code> should not require any special username or password setting on

 * encapsulated solely within the <code>Authentication</code> request object. In practical terms this means the

 * authentication.</p>
 *  <p>If authentication fails, a <code>RemoteAuthenticationException</code> will be thrown. This exception should
 * be caught and displayed to the user, enabling them to retry with alternative credentials etc.</p>
