Hi, The advantage of a redirect is, that the redirect target can fully leverage all Sling functionality.
At the time the AuthenticationHandler.requestCredentials method is called the SlingHttpServletRequest and *Response objects have not been set up yet and no resource resolver is available. Thus, a redirect is the only really feasible and useful option.
