Mikael commented on JBSEAM-744:
-------------------------------

Something which would be extremely usefull for me, and for other projects/teams where I work.

Were I work we mainly use certificates merely for authentication of the user, after that we use a slightly more complicated approaches for authorization. 

So it would be cool if there was a means of having code executed just after a user has been authenticated in order to load roles etc. from some resource, some functionality like the authenticate-method.

> I have no idea what these things are, but apparently people want to get them. Supposedly, they are nothing to do with certificates you get when you win something like a spelling competition in primary school. 'Cos if they were, we could have used Norman's PDF stuff. So anyway we can just steal code from Acegi. Then I can tell people "we've got a certificate for X509" in talks, and they will think I know what it is.
