/**
 * This interface describes a configuration of ServerAuthConfiguration objects
 * for a message layer and application context (for example, the messaging context of 
 * a specific application, or set of applications). 
 *
 * <p> Implementations of this interface are returned by an AnthConfigProvider.
 *
 * <p> Callers interact with a ServerAuthConfig to obtain ServerAuthContext
 * objects suitable for processing a given message exchange at the layer and
 * within the application context of the ServerAuthConfig.
 *
 * Each ServerAuthContext object is responsible for instantiating, 
 * initializing, and invoking the one or more ServerAuthModules 
 * encapsulated in the ServerAuthContext.
 *
 * <p> After having acquired a ServerAuthContext, a caller operates on the
 * context to cause it to invoke the encapsulated ServerAuthModules to
 * validate service requests and to secure service responses.

     * instance. It is the modules' responsibility to enforce these policies 
     * when invoked.

     *          of the response) may be added to the Subject. A null value may

     *          the caller to augment the properties that will be passed 
     *          to the encapsulated modules at module initialization.
