NetIDMgr Concepts: Identity
+While there are many approaches to defining what an identity is, as
+far as the NetIDMgr framework is considered, an identity is the unique
+security principal that is identified by a service. Each credential
+that is managed by NetIDMgr is assumed to map to a unique identity.
+The collection of credentials that map to a single identity is
+considered to belong to that identity.

+At it's core, NetIDMgr does not possess any knowlege about specific
+credentials that might be available for the user or how to manage
+them. It relies on several types of plugins to provide the
+information it needs, and to carry out credentials management tasks.
+One primary task is to identify and manage identities. These services
+are provided by a plugin called the identity provider. Information about
+individual credentials are provided by credentials providers. Other plugins
+may extend the functionaility of these plugins or provide additional
+functionality for NetIDMgr.
