The following operations can be performed using the UI:

• Edit an authentication provider.
• Remove an authentication provider.
• View the providers with validation errors.
• Export the provider definition as XML or SQL.
• Import the provider definition as XML.
• Auto-Detect a new Auth Provider from the DLL and Directory path.
• Send a request to the admin for a new service provider.
