    Description

      PrivateCredentialPermission allows grants statements which have
      a wildcard principalClass along with a regular principalName.

      from a security point of view, this is a bad construct.
      allowing any principal with the name "foo" (from any principalClass)
      to access a private credential is not useful, and extremely risky
      from a security perspective.

      a wildcard principalClass AND wildcard principalName should be allowed.
      a regular principalClass AND wildcard principalName should be allowed.

      a wildcard principalClass AND regular principalName should NOT be allowed.
