= AuthenticationManager |

|

{security-api-url}org/springframework/security/authentication/AuthenticationManager.html[`AuthenticationManager`] is the API that defines how Spring Security's Filters perform <<authentication,authentication>>. |
||||
The `Authentication` that is returned is then set on the <<servlet-authentication-securitycontextholder>>. |
||||
If you are not integrating with <<servlet-filterchainproxy,Spring Security's ``Filters``s>>, you can set the `SecurityContextHolder` directly and are not required to use an `AuthenticationManager`. |
||||
|
||||
While the implementation of `AuthenticationManager` could be anything, Spring Security provides `ProviderManager` which allows users to provide multiple `AuthenticationProvider` implementations. |
