Description

WebSession#authenticate() always throws an exception and it is not called in wicket-core.

Subclasses of wicket-auth-roles' AuthenticatedWebSession have to override #authenticate(), calls to it are always wrapped in #signIn().

wicketstuff-security-wasp's WaspSession doesn't use #authentcate() at all.

To clear up this confusion the method should be removed.
