/**
 * The UserAdminConfigurator can be used to install, remove or explicitly set the users that should be present in the
 * system's UserAdmin.<br>
 * <br>
 * The document should have the following shape,
 * 
 * <pre>
 * &lt;roles&gt;
 *     &lt;group name="group1"/&gt;
 *     &lt;group name="group2"&gt;
 *         &lt;memberof&gt;group1&lt;/memberof&gt;
 *     &lt;/group&gt;
 *     &lt;user name="user1"&gt;
 *         &lt;properties&gt;
 *             &lt;realname type="String"&gt;Mr. U. One&lt;/realname&gt;
 *             &lt;address&gt;1 Infinite Loop&lt;/address&gt;
 *         &lt;/properties&gt;
 *         &lt;credentials&gt;
 *             &lt;password type="byte[]"&gt;secret&lt;/password&gt;
 *         &lt;/credentials&gt;
 *         &lt;memberof&gt;group1&lt;/memberof&gt;
 *     &lt;/user&gt;
 * &lt;/roles&gt;
 * </pre>
 * 
 * Note that when 'type' is missing in the values for properties or credentials, "String" will be assumed. <br>
 * When no UserAdmin is available at time of installation, the UserAdminStore will keep the data around until one is,
 * and update it with all data it has received up to then. Note that UserAdminStore is intended to work with one
 * UserAdmin at a time.
