Logs in a user based solely on IP address; no other authentication is performed. Barring a mis-configuration or I/O error, this LoginModule always succeeds.

This module must be used with a CallbackHandler (such as WebContainerCallbackHandler) that supports the following Callback types:

After authentication, a generic WikiPrincipal based on the IP address will be created and associated with the Subject.
