Note there there is a big different between XWikiPreferences page and
xwiki.cfg: each wiki has its own.
So do you plan to refactor the auth system to let each wiki have a
different authenticator ? Or is the main wiki the only one that will
be taken into account ?

Hi devs,
I'm proposing to add this new property to the *XWikiPreferences* class
since there are many authenticators, listed on
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/Authentication and most
of them require the overriding of the *xwiki.authentication.authclass*
property in the *WEB-INF/xwiki.cfg* file and the restart of the wiki. So
the *authclass* is meant to keep the value of the
*xwiki.authentication.authclass
*property*.*
Please keep in mind that *xwiki.cfg* was the historical file containing the
configuration options, we're moving away from it and this can be the moment
to improve this functionality by removing the *restart wiki* step which is
often a pain for the user.
Thanks,
Alex
