/**
 * The {@link EnableGlobalAuthentication} annotation signals that the annotated class can
 * be used to configure a global instance of {@link AuthenticationManagerBuilder}. For
 * example:
 *
 * <pre class="code">
 * &#064;Configuration
 * &#064;EnableGlobalAuthentication
 * public class MyGlobalAuthenticationConfiguration {
 *
 * 	&#064;Autowired
 * 	public void configureGlobal(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) {
 * 		auth.inMemoryAuthentication().withUser(&quot;user&quot;).password(&quot;password&quot;).roles(&quot;USER&quot;)
 * 				.and().withUser(&quot;admin&quot;).password(&quot;password&quot;).roles(&quot;USER&quot;, &quot;ADMIN&quot;);
 * 	}
 * }
 * </pre>
 *
 * Annotations that are annotated with {@link EnableGlobalAuthentication} also signal that
 * the annotated class can be used to configure a global instance of
 * {@link AuthenticationManagerBuilder}. For example:
 *
 * <pre class="code">
 * &#064;Configuration
 * &#064;EnableWebSecurity
 * public class MyWebSecurityConfiguration extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
 *
 * 	&#064;Autowired
 * 	public void configureGlobal(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) {
 * 		auth.inMemoryAuthentication().withUser(&quot;user&quot;).password(&quot;password&quot;).roles(&quot;USER&quot;)
 * 				.and().withUser(&quot;admin&quot;).password(&quot;password&quot;).roles(&quot;USER&quot;, &quot;ADMIN&quot;);
 * 	}
 *
 * 	// Possibly overridden methods ...
 * }
 * </pre>
 *
 * The following annotations are annotated with {@link EnableGlobalAuthentication}
 *
 * <ul>
 * <li>{@link EnableWebSecurity}</li>
 * <li>{@link EnableWebMvcSecurity}</li>
 * <li>{@link EnableGlobalMethodSecurity}</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * Configuring {@link AuthenticationManagerBuilder} in a class without the
 * {@link EnableGlobalAuthentication} annotation has unpredictable results.
