Ate Douma resolved JS2-870.
---------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

The brand new portal trunk (copied over from the security-refactoring branch) now provides a new pure database based (NO more Java Preferences!) solution,
together with an optional (auto) synchronizing and replicating external store (LDAP only for now).

> The current User/Group/Role Preferences are tied to the Java Preferences API.
> JS2-869 will provde a new, simplified and more efficient preferences model doing away with the Java Preferences.
> For the User/Group/Role security principal elements this will require a drastic API change but also allow for better and improved integration with the backend systems.
> The Portlet API USER_INFO attributes need to be mapped (filtered per portlet application) to the User attributes.
> Furthermore, full backend integration needs to be provided so for instance LDAP can be used for storage/retrieval as well. This will require large enhancements to the LDAP api (which currently doesn't support mapping custom attributes yet). 
> Finally, the admin portlets need to be enhanced to provide retrieval and (optionally, if the backend supports/allows is) modification of attributes per User/Role/Group.
