// Description: The User Model extends the management concepts that
//              are related to users and security.
//              This file defines the generic concepts of various
//              authentication and authorization security services.
// 
//              The object classes below are listed in an order that
//              avoids forward references. Required objects, defined
//              by other working groups, are omitted.
