Set REMOTE_USER to LDAP attribute

[André Cruz]

But that means another LDAP query which is wasteful...

What if I alter the BindLDAPAuthenticationHandler to receive an
additional parameter which is an LDAP attribute and after the LDAP
query, if it was successful, do a setUserName on the credentials with
the attribute value?
