Add mapping for unique user attribute

[conanedogawa2]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Our cas serveur allow two entries for login
Uid and UserPincipalName respectivly "jdoe" [email protected]"
When login to owncloud using the two different methode two differents account are created despite the fact this is the same user.

Describe the solution you'd like
You could add a mapping for the attribute responsible for identification of a user with default value what cas provide for the login used to connect. This way i think you won't break anything for previous installations.

Thanks !

Hi again,
Since CAS provide a way to override the Principal ID in the service json registry this way :

 "usernameAttributeProvider" : {
    "@class" : "org.apereo.cas.services.PrincipalAttributeRegisteredServiceUsernameProvider",
    "usernameAttribute" : "samaccountname",
    "canonicalizationMode" : "LOWER"
  }

It's a viable way to do this so i'm closing the Feature request.
But Cas with Omniauth provide a way to do this, it may be a good idea to implement it.
