 Authentication simply handles the ability for a user to verify their integrity. A combination of 
 principal and authentication token are used to verify a user is who they say they are. An 
 authentication token should be constructed, either directly through it's constructor, but it is

-authenticated by the Authenticator, the user has access to the other actions within Accumulo. All

 This setup allows a variety of different mechanisms to be used for handling different aspects of 
 Accumulo's security. A system like Kerberos can be used for authentication, then a system like LDAP
