   We don't have the SecurityIdentity populated, there is only principal 
and subject created by jbossws/CXF's saml validator.
   We need to convert the subject/principal to Elytron's 
SecurityIdentity or something else, then later on EJB subystem with Elytron
   security can retrieve this authenticated info without check it twice. 
So we'd like to know how can we convert a subject/principal
   to Elytron's SecurityIdentity and let Elytron know this is already 
authenticated and authorized.

Thanks,
Jim
