LDAP <A HREF="http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/naming/spi/InitialContextFactory.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in javax.naming.spi"><CODE>InitialContextFactory</CODE></A> implementation. The default Sun

This method was added in Shiro 1.1 to address the fact that principals and credentials can be more than just
<code>String</code> user DNs and passwords for connecting to LDAP. For example, the credentials can be an
<code>X.509</code> certificate.
