// This is the UserRegistry interface that Custom Registries in WebSphere

/**
* Implementing this interface enables WebSphere Security to use Custom
* Registries. This should extend java.rmi.Remote as the registry can be in
* a remote process.
*
* To implement this interface, you must provide implementations for:
*
* -- initialize(java.util.Properties)
* -- checkPassword(String,String)
* -- mapCertificate(X509Certificate[])
* -- getRealm
* -- getUsers(String,int)
* -- getUserDisplayName(String)
* -- getUniqueUserId(String)
* -- getUserSecurityName(String)
* -- isValidUser(String)
* -- getGroups(String,int)
* -- getGroupDisplayName(String)
* -- getUniqueGroupId(String)
* -- getUniqueGroupIds(String)
* -- getGroupSecurityName(String)
* -- isValidGroup(String)
* -- getGroupsForUser(String)
* -- getUsersForGroup(String,int)
* -- createCredential(String)
