Processes a JSR-168 Portlet authentication request. The request will typically
originate from
org.acegisecurity.ui.portlet.PortletProcessingInterceptor .
Be aware that this provider is trusting the portal and portlet container to handle
actual authentication. If a valid
PortletAuthenticationToken is presented with
non-null principal and credentials, then the
PortletAuthenticationProvider.authenticate method will succeed.
If the details property of the requesting Authentication
object happens to be the PortletRequest , then this provider will place
the contents of the USER_INFO map from of the request attributes into
the details property of the authentication result.
