Hi, David!
Thank you for the help.

What do you mean by "Your authenticator is registered as a Plugin in a 
PAU in your current site"? I registered the authenticator as a utility 
and assigned the utility name to the authenticatorPlugins attribute of 
the PAU. Is it enough?

I think the plugins were selected and added as well as the PAU. I could 
access them with the queryUtility method later.

Yes, I do debugging the same way. And the print statement at the first 
line of the authenticator printed nothing. So I think the authenticator 
wasn't called at all.
