Description:
Security handlers were introduced in J2 to provide an SPI layer to the security 
composite services.

It could be very benefitial for J2 to support multiple security handler of one type.

For instance, the UserSecurityHandler(s) are used to provide user principal 
resolution.  A UserSecurityProvider layer can be introduced to allow support for 
multiple UserSecurityHandler(s).  J2 can then expose to the portal users mapping to an 
RDBMS store as well as an LDAP store, therefore exposing an aggregate user base from 
multiple backing stores.

This issue will implement multiple handlers support for user security and credentials.
