Option: authenticator
This option enables you to specify a authenticator to be used. There are three authenticators build in to the core package. These are BaseAuthenicator, SessionAuthenicator and IPAuthenciator you can also use external plugins as Authenticators. You can also combine multiple authenticators by separating them with + or |. The + sign means that all authenticators needs to return true the | sign means that only one of them needs to be true. They are like AND and OR operators, these signs can't currently be mixed.
If a user couldn't be verified by any of the configured authenticators it will redirect the user to the specified login page check the authenticator.login_page config option for details.
