How to use the "useFirstPass" option of Krb5LoginModule

[Seema Malkani]

JAAS supports the notion of stacked LoginModules. These configuration 
options enable to share username and passwords across different 
authentication modules.

You'll to first need to use the "storePass" option in your first login 
module to store the username/password in the shared state. Then the next 
login module can use "useFirstPass" to retrieve the username/password 
from the shared state of the first login module in the stack.
