Description

Currently Sling has two form-oriented authentication handlers: The form based authentication handler and the OpenID authentication handler. But there is no good way for the real client of a Sling application to choose between the two authentication such as is provided for example by http://www.crowdvine.com/account/login.

This can be accomplished by a pseudo authentication handler as follows:

extractCredentials: not implemented, always returns null
dropCredentials: not implemented
requestCredentials: renders a configurable login form

The handler is registered at higher priority than the authentication handlers actually handling the authentication (requires SLING-1368)
