Authenticate a user.
The first argument is a JSON object containing information for authenticating the user. What this actually contains depends on the specific implementation. In the case of a simple username/password based authentication it is likely to contain a JSON object with the following structure:
{
"username": "tim",
"password": "mypassword"
}
For other types of authentication it contain different information - for example a JWT token or OAuth bearer token.
If the user is successfully authenticated a User object is passed to the handler in an io.vertx.groovy.core.AsyncResult. The user object can then be used for authorisation.
