      Description

      In the current default setup the implementations of the Authentication interface resolve a user for the given login credentials but don't provide means to retrieve the associated principal. Consequently upon LoginModule.commit the user needs to resolved a second time to compute the set of all principals. This could be simplified by using PrincipalProvider.getGroupMembership(Principal) if the users principals was available upon successful call to Authentication.authenticate.
