[cas-dev] CredentialsToAttributePrincipalResolver

[Scott Battaglia]

Yes, we're looking to include resolvers such as that in the final
distribution of CAS.  We're obviously also interested in anyone who is
willing to assist in developing them :-)

We already have an interface called AttributeRepository for maintaining the
list of attributes.  We have one example which essentially grabs the LDAP
schema attributes at start up.  Other implementations (such as ones that
read table columns) could be created too.
