Hi Diego,

How does this work with an access control policy like USER-NODE-MATCH, which
requires both a Node-ID and a username in the SignerIdentity?  If the Node-ID
and the username are in separate certificates, wouldn't that require to extend
the SignerIdentity structure to store multiple identities?

Thanks.
