angela commented on OAK-2169:
-----------------------------
[~djaeggi], thanks a lot for the patch. at first glance i am not totally sure i
understand the difference between the factory and the factory provider. the way
i see it, the factory doesn't have any other meaning than allowing to provide
different implementations of user-authentication, right? so adding a provider
for the factory confuses me :-)
maybe everything would be easier, if we would allow the factory to return
{{null}} upon {{getAuthentication}} if it is not in charge of the specified
configuration or userid. we only recently introduced the interface in the trunk
(1.1.x series) and we are still free to adjust it). let me try to incorporate
my remarks in the attached patch.

> [~djaeggi], maybe it would be beneficial if the UserAuthenticationFactory was
> not just pluggable when using the java setup but also at runtime using OSGi
> services.... as far as i remember this is not yet implemented, right?
