Hi Rajini,

One requirement I have is to refresh the login token every X hours. Like
what the Kerberos login does I need to have a background thread that
refreshes the token periodically.

I understand most of the login logic would be simple but it is good that we
can expose the logic login to users and let them decide what they want to
do. And we can have a fallback login component that is used if users dont
specify it.
