// Even if you do not use it, this method must be implemented to obey to the rules
// of interface implemebtation.
// In this case it always returns null.
virtual Authorization^ PreAuthenticate( WebRequest^ request, ICredentials^ credentials )
{
   return nullptr;
}

// The PreAuthenticate method specifies whether the authentication implemented
// by this class allows pre-authentication.
// Even if you do not use it, this method must be implemented to obey to the rules
// of interface implementation.
// In this case it always returns null.
public Authorization PreAuthenticate(WebRequest request, ICredentials credentials)
