Multiple AuthHandlers

[Scott Battaglia]

Hi,

Yes!  If you configure multiple authentication handlers in the
deployerConfigContext.xml the AuthenticationManager will try each one in
turn (as long as they support the type of credentials) stopping when an
AuthenticationHandler returns true or it runs out of AuthenticationHandlers
to try.

You'll notice that the default deployerConfigContext.xml is configured with
more than one AuthenticationHandler.  Just add your additional ones to the
list.
