       The first argument is a JSON object containing information for authenticating the user. What this actually contains
       depends on the specific implementation. In the case of a simple username/password based
       authentication it is likely to contain a JSON object with the following structure:
       <pre>
         {
           "username": "tim",
           "password": "mypassword"
         }
       </pre>
       For other types of authentication it contain different information - for example a JWT token or OAuth bearer token.
       <p>
       If the user is successfully authenticated a {@link User} object is passed to the handler in an {@link AsyncResult}.
       The user object can then be used for authorisation.
