/**
 * Contains the implementation for the Directory Server connection handler that
 * is responsible for interacting with clients using JMX. The JMX
 * implementation in this package is actually comprised of three primary
 * components:
 * <BR>
 * <UL>
 *   <LI>
 *     The JMX connection handler which is purely responsible for starting
 *     and stopping the actual JMX connector.
 *   </LI>
 *   <LI>
 *     The JMX connector which is responsable for client request handling.
 *     A private RMI registry is also created when this JMX Connector is
 *     started. The JMX Connector (RMI server object) and its corresponding
 *     client part are registered in it.
 *   </LI>
 *   <LI>
 *     The Authentication module which allows a remote client to be
 *     authenticated by its LDAP credential.
 *   </LI>
 * </UL>
