/**
 * This class implements a simple chaining authentication service. It chains together other authentication services so
 * that authentication can happen against more than one authentication service. The authentication services it uses are
 * stored as a list. Each authentication service must belong to the same domain. This is checked at configuration time.
 * Authentication will try each authentication service in order. If any allow authentication given the user name and
 * password then the user will be accepted. Additions, deletions and password changes are made to one special
 * authentication service. This service will be tried first for authentication. Users can not be created if they exist
 * in another authentication service. To avoid transactional issues in chaining, the services registered with this
 * service must not have transactional wrappers. If not, errors will mark the transaction for roll back and we can not
 * chain down the list of authentication services.
