  Class and Description
  AuthConfig This interface defines the common functionality implemented by Authentication context configuration objects.
  AuthConfigFactory This class is used to obtain `AuthConfigProvider` objects that can be used to obtain authentication context configuration objects, that is, `ClientAuthConfig` and `ServerAuthConfig` objects.
  AuthConfigFactory.RegistrationContext Represents the layer identifier, application context identifier, and description components of an AuthConfigProvider registration at the factory.
  AuthConfigProvider This interface is implemented by objects that can be used to obtain authentication context configuration objects, that is, `ClientAuthConfig` or `ServerAuthConfig` objects.
  ClientAuthConfig This interface encapsulates the configuration of ClientAuthContext objects for a message layer and application context (for example, the messaging context of a specific application, or set of applications).
  ClientAuthContext 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.
  RegistrationListener An implementation of this interface may be associated with an AuthConfigProvider registration at an AuthConfigFactory at the time the AuthConfigProvider is obtained for use from the factory.
  ServerAuthConfig This interface describes a configuration of ServerAuthConfiguration objects for a message layer and application context (for example, the messaging context of a specific application, or set of applications).
  ServerAuthContext This ServerAuthContext class encapsulates ServerAuthModules that are used to validate service requests received from clients, and to secure any response returned for those requests.
