```
public abstract class Authenticator
extends Object
```
The class Authenticator represents an object that knows how to obtain authentication for a network connection. Usually, it will do this by prompting the user for information.
Applications use this class by overriding getPasswordAuthentication() in a sub-class. This method will typically use the various getXXX() accessor methods to get information about the entity requesting authentication. It must then acquire a username and password either by interacting with the user or through some other non-interactive means. The credentials are then returned as a PasswordAuthentication return value.
An instance of this concrete sub-class is then registered with the system by calling setDefault(Authenticator). When authentication is required, the system will invoke one of the requestPasswordAuthentication() methods which in turn will call the getPasswordAuthentication() method of the registered object.
All methods that request authentication have a default implementation that fails.

Since:

1.2

public Authenticator()
```
- Method Detail
  - setDefault
```
public static void setDefault(Authenticator a)
```
    Sets the authenticator that will be used by the networking code when a proxy or an HTTP server asks for authentication.
    First, if there is a security manager, its checkPermission method is called with a NetPermission("setDefaultAuthenticator") permission. This may result in a java.lang.SecurityException.
    
    Parameters:
    a - The authenticator to be set. If a is null then any previously set authenticator is removed.
    
    Throws:
    
    SecurityException - if a security manager exists and its checkPermission method doesn't allow setting the default authenticator.

```
    Ask the authenticator that has been registered with the system for a password.
    First, if there is a security manager, its checkPermission method is called with a NetPermission("requestPasswordAuthentication") permission. This may result in a java.lang.SecurityException.
    
    Parameters:
    addr - The InetAddress of the site requesting authorization, or null if not known.
    port - the port for the requested connection
    protocol - The protocol that's requesting the connection (getRequestingProtocol())
    prompt - A prompt string for the user
    scheme - The authentication scheme
    
    Returns:
    The username/password, or null if one can't be gotten.
    
    Throws:
    
    SecurityException - if a security manager exists and its checkPermission method doesn't allow the password authentication request.

                                                   String scheme)
```
    Ask the authenticator that has been registered with the system for a password. This is the preferred method for requesting a password because the hostname can be provided in cases where the InetAddress is not available.
    First, if there is a security manager, its checkPermission method is called with a NetPermission("requestPasswordAuthentication") permission. This may result in a java.lang.SecurityException.
    
    Parameters:
    host - The hostname of the site requesting authentication.
    addr - The InetAddress of the site requesting authentication, or null if not known.
    port - the port for the requested connection.
    protocol - The protocol that's requesting the connection (getRequestingProtocol())
    prompt - A prompt string for the user which identifies the authentication realm.
    scheme - The authentication scheme
    
    Returns:
    The username/password, or null if one can't be gotten.
    
    Throws:
    
    SecurityException - if a security manager exists and its checkPermission method doesn't allow the password authentication request.
