Why does the user have to update the configuration file? I assume the SentryGenericProviderBackend has the same capabilities as the SearchProviderBackend/SqoopProviderBackend -- can't we just put in some code that detects the old configuration and automatically updates it to the new one? Maybe only if the old one isn't found?
