                             java.lang.String password,

return the user rec if credentials are valid

Note that the data contained returned User object is strictly advisory -- meaning that it cannot be used directly to gain access.

For example, the list of roles in the returned User object may change after the call. Access control will always occur based upon the current database state, not on the User object you received as a result of this call.
