> Extend the Authentication Provider interface to allow implementations to resolve a realm qualified user identity into a human readable name.  If the authentication provider does not recognise the realm, it is not capable of resolving names or the name is not known, the provider must return null.  Callers must be prepared to handle null.
> Internally, providers may implement this method by calling out to the authentication backend. Alternatively, the provider may maintain a cache of names, populated as users authenticate.  The provider should be prepared to be queried many times for a user's name during the lifetime of Broker's execution, so should take steps to avoid expensive processing, if necessary.
