How about making the usernode a field in the UserContext class. the implementations of the Authentication would have to put some meaningfull stuff in it. By default it could have no fields or maybe the identifier. usually the security implementation and the appication (website) go together, so the fact you are not shure about all the fields is not a major. you could allways "userNode.getNodeManager().getFields()", or dousn't that work on virtual nodes?
