      boolean authenticate(com.mdsol.mauth.MAuthRequest mAuthRequest)
      Performs the validation of an incoming HTTP request.

      Parameters:
      mAuthRequest - Data from the incoming HTTP request necessary to perform the validation.
      Returns:
      True or false indicating if the request is valid or not with respect to mAuth.
