Where would I use this Security Provider?

This provider is designed to be used in several security scenarios:

• If the domain security realm uses several authentication sources, then the Security Provider can be used to decide the order where the checks provided by this provider are executed. By default, the login even performs the same checks after all providers are called, the security provider allows that event to be done earlier in the chain.

• If the implementation is using single sign on (SSO) or federated security, this security provider can be used to decide when the checks performed are done in relation to these configurations.

By default, the checks performed by this provider are done automatically by the product login process. Use of the provider allows implementations to perform these checks earlier in the security checking process.
