Authentication plugins
This extension point allows to define an authentication protocol.
By default, if no authentication system is defined, REGARDS handles its own authentication system based on JWT tokens. However, it is possible to externalize user management with IDP and/or SP.
If you want to create your own implementation of one of these extension points, you need to extend the specific interface indicated.
