The logic above could be moved into a static method within
KerberosCredentialsService, but I would avoid doing so for a couple of reasons:
1. I'm not sure that all processors are already using the exactly same name
of the properties. And if not, then adding it to that interface would
complicate things.
2. Doing so would mean that we need to move the Property Descriptors
themselves into that interface as well. As described above, these are "legacy"
property descriptors that are intended to go away, so I would not want to add
them into the interface for the "new way to do things", if that makes sense.
