Name Mappings

Names, names, names, ... we struggle with naming issues everyday.

In the GridShib Beta Profile, we assume the AA at the !IdP is able to map a DN to one and only one local principal name. To insure this, we create a name mapping at the !IdP. The current name mapping implementation is file-based (other implementations are being considered).

The Name Registry Service depends on the previous two enhancements, especially a database-based name mapping implementation.
