Where in the system is user authentication handled?

I'm trying to get a better understanding of how Sugar handles the whole user authentication process. I've several post about this, but most of them seem to be referencing outdated features or methods. Is there some updated documentation or a more current post that I didn't find regarding which Sugar files do what?

Hi,
Look in modules/users/authentication for the various classes that handle authentication.

Hi.

At first, authentication request is handled by Authenticate.php

https://code.sugarcrm.com/public/tag...thenticate.php

Then, following is called

https://code.sugarcrm.com/public/tag...Controller.php

Got it. Thanks. It does make a little bit more sense. I threw some breakpoints in Authenticate.php to follow what was going on and can see the process now. Quick follow-up, I can't figure out what Login.php or User.php do, however.
