public interface ServerAuthConfig extends AuthConfig
Implementations of this interface are returned by an AnthConfigProvider.
Callers interact with a ServerAuthConfig to obtain ServerAuthContext objects suitable for processing a given message exchange at the layer and within the application context of the ServerAuthConfig. Each ServerAuthContext object is responsible for instantiating, initializing, and invoking the one or more ServerAuthModules encapsulated in the ServerAuthContext.
After having acquired a ServerAuthContext, a caller operates on the context to cause it to invoke the encapsulated ServerAuthModules to validate service requests and to secure service responses.

The implementation of this method returns a ServerAuthContext instance that encapsulates the ServerAuthModules used to validate requests and secure responses associated with the given authContextID.
Specifically, this method accesses this ServerAuthConfig object with the argument authContextID to determine the ServerAuthModules that are to be encapsulated in the returned ServerAuthContext instance.
The ServerAuthConfig object establishes the request and response MessagePolicy objects that are passed to the encapsulated modules when they are initialized by the returned ServerAuthContext instance. It is the modules' responsibility to enforce these policies when invoked.
authContextID - An identifier used to index the provided config, or null. This value must be identical to
the value returned by the getAuthContextID method for all MessageInfo objects passed to the
validateRequest method of the returned ServerAuthContext.serviceSubject - A Subject that represents the source of the service response to be secured by the acquired
authentication context. The principal and credentials of the Subject may be used to select or acquire the
authentication context. If the Subject is not null, additional Principals or credentials (pertaining to the source of
the response) may be added to the Subject. A null value may be passed for this parameter.properties - A Map object that may be used by the caller to augment the properties that will be passed to the
encapsulated modules at module initialization. The null value may be passed for this parameter.AuthException - If this method fails.
