> From dev@ list:
> "In pac4j, we have a callback controller which uses the client_name
> parameter to finish the login process and a protection filter which
> protects a resource and redirects the user to the identity provider for
> login. Since pac4j 1.8, most libraries using it now accept a client_name
> parameter in the protection filter as well to choose the authentication
> mechanism to use if the user is not authenticated.
> With Knox, this feature (choosing the authentication mechanism with the
> client_name parameter) is not available as this parameter is already used
> to define if it's a callback or an access. This could be changed and we
> could opt for a new convention, like a new pac4jCallback parameter to say
> if it's a callback or not. And this way, you could choose on the fly which
> authentication mechanism you want to use."
