/**
 * CRAuthenticator.java
 *
 * This is the base class for all Authenticators which implement challenge 
 * response authentication.  As a general rule most parts of Webmail won't 
 * care if if an authenticator is a child of the class Authenticator, or a 
 * child of CRAuthenticator, however, there are a few extra methods needed 
 * for challenge response.  
 * 
 * Also worth noting, this used to be the name of concrete authenticator.  I 
 * decided that it was okay to reuse the name here because:
 *  1) it was only a test authenticator
 *  2) I really couldn't think of a better name.
