The OpenID authentication handler can be integrated in two ways into the
Jackrabbit authentication mechanism which is based on JAAS `LoginModule`. One
integration is by means of a `LoginModulePlugin` which plugs into the
extensible `LoginModule` architecture supported by the Sling Jackrabbit
Embedded Repository bundle.

supported by the Jackrabbit `DefaultLoginModule`. By setting the
`trusted*credentials*attribute` parameter of the Jackrabbit

OpenID Authentication Handler to the same value, the existence of an attribute
of that name in the `SimpleCredentials` instance provided to the
