attribs from db what jaas uses

Not in any way countering Nate’s cautions, I’m not sure the case is clear.
I understand you to state your users may appear in two sources, 
and either may authenticate them.  If users may appear in both sources,
and your authentication configuration is to fail over, wouldn’t that set up
scenarios confusing to everyone:  If I usually am authenticated against
source A, but occasionally for whatever reason fail over to source B, then
from what you say you want to configure, the resolved/released attributes 
will be different.  A user (or relying service) won’t have a clue what “changed” 
or possibly “broke.”
