I was going through the code and found that the LdapPrincipal is now storing
the user's
password.  This is an immense security risk!  Why would we do such a thing?

I think this was an optimization, to avoid a lookup. I'm not sure
about the security risk in this case, but maybe you have something
else in mind.

Can you give us what you are thinking about ?

Thanks !
