Two main use cases here:

1) straight pass through of security credentials submitted by client

2) credential mediation where the gateway recognizes the client identity and 
maps the credentials into the format suitable for the back-end service.


For scenario #2,     Defining the credential mediation between front-end 
credentials and back-end credentials would ideally rely on capabilities within 
the WSO2 Identity Server.   Ideally,  WSO2 APIM would plug in an Identity 
Server UI into the API Publisher page for the 'create/edit api' task.    
Credential mapping would ideally be centrally stored in the user repository, 
and Identity Server could manage the mappings.
