+## Adding Support for Other Authenticators
+
+To create a custom authenticator, your class must respond to the `#authenticate` method. Currently the signature for the `#authenticate` method is dependent on your authenticator's needs. By default the value associated with the credentials key from the request will be passed straight through to your `#authenticate` implementation.
+
+For example, if the request is:
+
+    {
+      "strategy": "my_auth",
+      "credentials": "foo!"
+    }
+
+And your authenticator is:
+
+    class MyAuthenticator
+      attr_accessor :logger
+      def authenticate(credentials)
+        credentials == 'foo!'
+      end
+    end
+
+Note that the attr_accessor :logger is not required, however if you provide it then your authenticator will have access to the syslog logger.

 ## Configuration
