Account justification

When the Justification Policy is enabled, prior to the login / checkout process users will see a prompt for Justification only within the UI.

Note:    If you directly invoke the login / checkout APIs scripts (not through the UI), justification is not applicable, regardless if the policy is enabled or not.
