The default identity is the identity that will be picked up by

At it's core, NetIDMgr does not possess any knowledge about specific

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
