Get the Spring Context or a Spring bean inside the JAAS LdapLoginModule

[Vasile Alin]

This is the scenario:

The user logs in using an email address. We have a problem with special
characters in email addresses in our LDAP server so we want to translate
transparently the email address to another field, such as uid. This will be
done by changing the JAAS context with the associated uid and use it in the
actual LDAP bind.
