> The authorization identity is the identity that the user intends to run as.  By allowing the identity to be specified as a Principal, the anonymous identity can be given, which is a way of directly selecting anonymous authentication.  The existing methods which specify the authorization identity as a string can map to a NamePrincipal.  Mechanism selection can also take the authorization ID into account.
> This also aligns with the run-as logic on the server.
