## com.bea.p13n.security.management.authentication
Class AtnManagerProxy

    java.lang.Object
      com.bea.p13n.security.management.authentication.AtnManagerProxy

    public class AtnManagerProxy

extends Object

This class provides access to all user and group management functions as defined by the WLS Security Service Provider Interface (SSPI). This class acts as a proxy for a single, configured Authentication Provider plug-in by proxying calls to the `UserProvider` and `GroupProvider` classes.

This class should not contain any layered product dependencies.

Since it is possible that an Authentication Provider may not implement all optional management interfaces, an `OperationNotSupportedException` may be thrown.

This class is constructed using the `AtnProviderDescription`.
