If user caching is enabled the validate method will check its cache for a matching username & password pair. If present, the validate method returns true. If user caching is not enabled the validate method will call to the configured JAAS LoginModules to authenticate the user.

An instance of UserCredentials is passed to implementations of IScenarioAuthority to provide the identiy of the user.
