this.tokenAuthentication = new JwtAuthentication(this.deviceId, 
   this.users, this.tokenFactory); 

The authenticator references our users database to check that subjects match users in the database. It also references the token factory to validate that tokens are correctly signed. We then simply add the reference to the authenticator ...
