Modifying username inside AuthenticationHandler..

[Scott Battaglia]

You should NOT reset the username in the Credentials class unless absolutely
necessary (it will work but then that change is propagated everywhere and
you lose the original supplied username).   Your
CredentialsToPrincipalResolver should be able to map the supplied username
to the username that you want.
