I find that I'd like to write my own implementation 
of com.uwyn.rife.authentication.CredentialsManager, 
so that I can decide at runtime what source(s) to use 
for authentication info. 

The CM interface couldn't be simpler, but obviously it 
is necessary to assign a unique << (long) userid >> to 
every username. 

This mapping between usernames and userid's does not 
need to be consistent _between_ application sessions, 
only _within_ an application session, yes ? 

So, then, it is entirely the responsibility of my own 
CM implementation to devise a mapping between usernames 
and userid's that both (a) creates unique userid's, and 
(b) keeps the mapping consistent -- within a particular
session -- _across_ calls to verifyCredentials(..) ? 


thx

fred
