## Class FormAuthenticator

- java.lang.Object
- - org.eclipse.jetty.security.authentication.LoginAuthenticator
  - - org.eclipse.jetty.security.authentication.FormAuthenticator

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Authenticator

      public class FormAuthenticator
      extends LoginAuthenticator

  FORM Authenticator.

  This authenticator implements form authentication will use dispatchers to the login page if the `__FORM_DISPATCH` init parameter is set to true. Otherwise it will redirect.

  The form authenticator redirects unauthenticated requests to a log page which should use a form to gather username/password from the user and send them to the /j_security_check URI within the context. FormAuthentication uses `SessionAuthentication` to wrap Authentication results so that they are associated with the session.
