The Authentication state of a request.

The Authentication state can be one of several sub-types that reflects where the request is in the many different authentication cycles. Authentication might not yet be checked or it might be checked and failed, checked and deferred or succeeded.

Authentication Response sent state. Responses are sent by authenticators either to issue an authentication challenge or on successful authentication in order to redirect the user to the original URL.
