after a bit of thought and discussion with Jeff, the above is totally 
wrong wrt how and what I'm doing with the UID field.  The above is the 
UID for the *Consumer* and not the admin user.

We need to parse the identity cert and associate the subject['UID'] 
field with our Consumer, not our User object.

So, essentially we should consider moving the above logic over to 
Consumer's create() call to take in a cert string and possibly extract 
the UID and store that as the ID for the consumer.
