Extracting Values from a Custom Principal

OK. Gotcha.  

I read your request as the need for a more general PrincipalDataConnector.  I have been trying to work out how this would work in a generic manner for quite some time, but given that each principal type is (almost by definition) different it is *hard* to see how to make this general.  But I'll be interested in where your musings end up.

If you are not doing so right now, I would certainly suggest that you use a ScriptedDataConnector to do this work (and if you could consider donating the example to the wiki others would thank you), but I'd not give up that we could manage some sort of principal connector.
