I think it is a good idea to make the adapter a bit 'dumb' and call
methods to read the data (using hash / salt) from a model,
centralizing these config's there. You'd need a slightly different
adapter and move this data-related stuff to the model. Solar just
can't do this because as I understand it doesn't intend to have a
'user' model.
