Description

ShellBasedIdMapping only supports Linux and OSX, support for Solaris needs adding.

From looking at the Linux support in ShellBasedIdMapping, the same sequences of shell commands should work for Solaris as well so all that's probably needed is to change the implementation of checkSupportedPlatform() to treat Linux and Solaris the same way, plus possibly some renaming of other methods to make it more obvious they are not Linux-only.
