    The way this is implemented, here, these attributes (tokens) would not be 
available to connections stored in the JDBC module, since the module you've 
extended, here, is the LDAP-specific one.  In order for this to cover multiple 
authentication modules, you'll either have to implement this at one of the 
parent classes (`AbstractAuthenticatedUser` perhaps) or across multiple 
modules.  Of course, that doesn't all have to be done with this one pull 
request - this can just tackle LDAP for now - but the base changes that go into 
it probably need to at least make it available for other extensions to 
implement.
    
    The other advantage of at least creating the abstract methods within one of 
the parent classes is avoiding having to do the type-casting when trying to run 
the `getAttributes()` method.
    
    @mike-jumper Any pointers on the best place to put the various 
attribute-related stuff such that it can be easily used across different 
authentication extensions?
