IJEMHAlternateIdProvider (jemh-api 4.1.0 API)

All Superinterfaces:

IJEMHModuleProvider
```
public interface IJEMHAlternateIdProvider
extends IJEMHModuleProvider
```
When JEMH cannot locate a registered JIRA-user through the given incoming email address, the Alternate ID support can be used to locate the 'actual' user details. The information provided may then be used to lookup an actual JIRA-user, or if user creation has been enabled, to provide the necessary information for user creation.
