Unfortunately for 1.4.0 code (I've forgot about this) there is no easy 
solution - you need to code the whole authenticator creation logic. What 
is hard as you noticed. Fortunately in 1.5.0 (expected this week) you 
will have additional internal API which is supporting a new sandbox 
authN feature. This should help you:

i-face:

pl.edu.icm.unity.server.api.internal.AuthenticatorsManagement

with:

/**
  * Resolves binding specific authenticator authN implementations for a 
given
  * list of {@link AuthenticatorSet}.
  * @param authnList
  * @return
  * @throws EngineException
  */
List<Map<String, BindingAuthn>> 
getAuthenticatorUIs(List<AuthenticatorSet> authnList) throws 
EngineException;


BTW: internally you have two kinds of objects related to authenticatrs 
as one is intended for external users where details of an authenticator 
should be presented and internal objects which are supposed to work. 
Also the local verificators are configured, but implicitely - they rely 
on associated local credential's implementation, there is no need to 
introduce another configuration layer.

HTH,
