Interface TapjawAuthenticator<T>

This is used by Connectors to authenticate a connection prior to perform an API call.

Two common approaches are available in the Tapjaw Importer toolkit:

1. Specify shared credentials such as username, password, secret, or a token.
2. Execute a request to a separate authentication endpoint and then use a responded token, access key or secret to gain access to the API.

An additional unsupported method is also possible, using the session cookie in conjunction with a form login request, although this requires defining scraping rules for HTML responses and potentially querying for request tokens stored in a webpage to allow a login request.
