// NOTE: As of JDK 8, this class instantiates

/**
 * This class represents a default implementation for
 * {@code javax.security.auth.login.Configuration}.
 *
 * <p> This object stores the runtime login configuration representation,
 * and is the amalgamation of multiple static login
 * configurations that resides in files.
 * The algorithm for locating the login configuration file(s) and reading their
 * information into this {@code Configuration} object is:
 *
 * <ol>
 * <li>
 *   Loop through the security properties,
 *   <i>login.config.url.1, login.config.url.2, ...,
 *   <i>login.config.url.X.
 *   Each property value specifies a {@code URL} pointing to a
 *   login configuration file to be loaded.  Read in and load
 *   each configuration.
 *
 * <li>
 *   The {@code java.lang.System} property
 *   <i>java.security.auth.login.config
 *   may also be set to a {@code URL} pointing to another
 *   login configuration file
 *   (which is the case when a user uses the -D switch at runtime).
 *   If this property is defined, and its use is allowed by the
 *   security property file (the Security property,
 *   <i>policy.allowSystemProperty is set to true),
 *   also load that login configuration.
 *
 * <li>
 *   If the <i>java.security.auth.login.config property is defined using
 *   "==" (rather than "="), then ignore all other specified
 *   login configurations and only load this configuration.
 *
 * <li>
 *   If no system or security properties were set, try to read from the file,
 *   ${user.home}/.java.login.config, where ${user.home} is the value
 *   represented by the "user.home" System property.
 * </ol>
 *
 * <p> The configuration syntax supported by this implementation
 * is exactly that syntax specified in the
 * {@code javax.security.auth.login.Configuration} class.
 *
 * @see javax.security.auth.login.LoginContext
 * @see java.security.Security security properties
