---------------------------------------
OK. looking back at http://markmail.org/message/l5f6vbhxaiercnwp, I see Carsten
was actually talking about merging commons.auth with sling.api, which it looks
like you are basically doing.
> Authentication API and Handler Improvements
> -------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SLING-1575
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-1575
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: API, Commons, Extensions
> Reporter: Felix Meschberger
>
> Proposing the following enhancement to the Commons Auth bundle as well as the
> two existing form based authentication handlers (Form Based Authentication
> Handler and OpenID Authentication Handler):
> * Create a new o.a.sling.api.auth package with the Authenticator interface
> and the NoAuthenticationHandler exception
> * Create an AbstractAuthenticationFormServlet and
> AbstractAuthenticationHandler in Commons Auth (o.a.sling.commons.auth.spi)
> * Extend the form servlets in the Form and OpenID handlers from the
> abstract form servlet
> * Extend the authentication handlers from the abstract handler
> The new o.a.sling.api.auth package is the current o.a.sling.commons.auth
> package without the AuthenticationSupport interface. The reason for this is,
> that the Authenticator interface can be used by Sling applications to request
> users to login. The AuthenticationSupport interface on the other hand is
> closed tied into the Commons Auth implementation and is not generally used by
> Sling Applications.
