        Description copied from interface: Authentication
        Executes the authentication mechanism for the given request, returning a Authentication.Result that can be used to actually authenticate the request via Authentication.Result.apply(Request).

        If a request for "/secure" returns a Authentication.Result, then the result may be used for other requests such as "/secure/foo" or "/secure/bar", unless those resources are protected by other realms.

        Parameters:
        request - the request to execute the authentication mechanism for
        response - the 401 response obtained in the previous attempt to request the protected resource
        headerInfo - the WWW-Authenticate (or Proxy-Authenticate) header chosen for this authentication (among the many that the response may contain)
        context - the conversation context in case the authentication needs multiple exchanges to be completed and information needs to be stored across exchanges
        Returns:
        the authentication result, or null if the authentication could not be performed
