      Authenticate a user.

      The first argument is a JSON object containing information for authenticating the user. What this actually contains depends on the specific implementation. In the case of a simple username/password based authentication it is likely to contain a JSON object with the following structure:

             {
               "username": "tim",
               "password": "mypassword"
             }

      For other types of authentication it contain different information - for example a JWT token or OAuth bearer token.

      If the user is successfully authenticated a object is passed to the handler in an . The user object can then be used for authorisation.

      Parameters:
        `credentials` - The credentials
      Returns:

    - #### rxAuthenticate
