In most cases it's self limiting; the user only knows one set of
credentials.  Alternatively, there may be a couple different
credentials that map to a single principal.  We have such a use case
here at Virginia Tech, where users may authenticate via either
username/password or X.509 certificate.  In either case, however, it's
the same principal after authentication.

If you have a case where you have multiple authentication backends,
where one user may have a different security principle in each
authentication source, you're in a situation that CAS is ill-equipped
to handle.
