The feature is extensible (different authentication methods may be defined and implemented within Account Manager). Generally speaking, however, the specification includes a provision for an ''onfailure'' handler which may be defined for most methods. This handler (a mirror of the ''onsuccess'' handler) may define one of several actions: | |||
