/**
 * This is a common subset of SecurityService implementation.
 * <p>
 * Provided functionality includes:
 * <ul>
 * <li> methods for retrieving User objects, that delegates functionality
 *      to the pluggable implementations of the User interface.
 * <li> synchronization mechanism for methods reading/modifying the security
 *      information, that guarantees that multiple threads may read the
 *      information concurrently, but threads that modify the information
 *      acquires exclusive access.
 * <li> implementation of convenience methods for retrieving security entities
 *      that maintain in-memory caching of objects for fast access.
