Following my POC for using Shiro for all things security in Knox I
extracted the code for the two things I thought Shiro was missing for
principal and role mapping.
I filed and created patches for the following jiras.
Support role mapping similar to PermissionResolver and
RolePermissionResolver
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHIRO-464
Support externalized principal mapping in AuthenticatingRealm and
ModularRealmAuthenticator
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHIRO-465
It will be interesting to see the potential to affect change in this
project.
