 Review comment:
   Should we rename this to something more descriptive, like `identityByNamespace`? A little bit of ScalaDoc would help for context, i.e.:
   
   ```scala
   /**
    * Retrieves an Identity based on a given namespace name.
    *
    * For use-cases of anonymous invocation (i.e. WebActions), 
    * we need to an identity based on a given namespace-name to 
    * give the invocation all the context needed.
    */
   ```
   
   A little bit of ScalaDoc for `authenticate` would be great in the same vain.
