public interface ImpersonatingAuthenticationProvider extends AuthenticationProvider
Impersonating authentication providers allow the caller to specify a user, on his behalf the request to the remote application is made. The remote application will return content / information that is visible and accessible to the specified user. This mode of authentication therefore should be used when information specific to user-context is required.
