Interface Summary
Interface	Description
AuthenticationConverter	A strategy used for converting from a `HttpServletRequest` to an `Authentication` of particular type.
AuthenticationFailureHandler	Strategy used to handle a failed authentication attempt.
AuthenticationSuccessHandler	Strategy used to handle a successful user authentication.
RememberMeServices	Implement by a class that is capable of providing a remember-me service.

Class Summary
Class	Description
AbstractAuthenticationProcessingFilter	Abstract processor of browser-based HTTP-based authentication requests.
AbstractAuthenticationTargetUrlRequestHandler	Base class containing the logic used by strategies which handle redirection to a URL and are passed an `Authentication` object as part of the contract.
AnonymousAuthenticationFilter	Detects if there is no `Authentication` object in the `SecurityContextHolder`, and populates it with one if needed.
AuthenticationEntryPointFailureHandler	Adapts a `AuthenticationEntryPoint` into a `AuthenticationFailureHandler`
AuthenticationFilter	A `Filter` that performs authentication of a particular request.
DelegatingAuthenticationEntryPoint	An `AuthenticationEntryPoint` which selects a concrete `AuthenticationEntryPoint` based on a `RequestMatcher` evaluation.
DelegatingAuthenticationFailureHandler	An `AuthenticationFailureHandler` that delegates to other `AuthenticationFailureHandler` instances based upon the type of `AuthenticationException` passed into `DelegatingAuthenticationFailureHandler.onAuthenticationFailure(HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse, AuthenticationException)` .
ExceptionMappingAuthenticationFailureHandler	Uses the internal map of exceptions types to URLs to determine the destination on authentication failure.
ForwardAuthenticationFailureHandler	Forward Authentication Failure Handler
ForwardAuthenticationSuccessHandler	Forward Authentication Success Handler
Http403ForbiddenEntryPoint	In the pre-authenticated authentication case (unlike CAS, for example) the user will already have been identified through some external mechanism and a secure context established by the time the security-enforcement filter is invoked.
HttpStatusEntryPoint	An `AuthenticationEntryPoint` that sends a generic `HttpStatus` as a response.
LoginUrlAuthenticationEntryPoint	Used by the `ExceptionTranslationFilter` to commence a form login authentication via the `UsernamePasswordAuthenticationFilter`.
NullRememberMeServices	Implementation of `NullRememberMeServices` that does nothing.
SavedRequestAwareAuthenticationSuccessHandler	An authentication success strategy which can make use of the `DefaultSavedRequest` which may have been stored in the session by the `ExceptionTranslationFilter`.
SimpleUrlAuthenticationFailureHandler	`AuthenticationFailureHandler` which performs a redirect to the value of the `defaultFailureUrl` property when the `onAuthenticationFailure` method is called.
SimpleUrlAuthenticationSuccessHandler	`AuthenticationSuccessHandler` which can be configured with a default URL which users should be sent to upon successful authentication.
UsernamePasswordAuthenticationFilter	Processes an authentication form submission.
WebAuthenticationDetails	A holder of selected HTTP details related to a web authentication request.
WebAuthenticationDetailsSource	Implementation of `AuthenticationDetailsSource` which builds the details object from an `HttpServletRequest` object, creating a `WebAuthenticationDetails` .

Package org.springframework.security.web.authentication Description

Authentication processing mechanisms, which respond to the submission of authentication credentials using various protocols (eg BASIC, CAS, form login etc).
