[security-dev] PicketLink IDM subsystem

[Pete Muir]

PicketLink IDM allows for programmatic configuration like https://github.com/picketlink/picketlink/blob/master/idm/tests/src/test/java/org/picketlink/test/idm/config/JPAIdentityStoreConfigurationTestCase.java#L94 - can we still use something like this with the subsystem?

We hope to either contribute this to PicketLink, or to be able to replace it with an official subsystem once it's available. If there is any interest in what we've done so far, we would welcome feedback and/or help to complete it.
