"""
   abac_e_attr.py

   To demonstrate how to use ABAC's api in python with principal credential that uses
   encrypted private key

   call:   attr_e_abac Soda_ID.pem Soda_private.pem Soda_attr.der pfile Cream_ID.pem

   pre-conditions: make a passpphrase file and
                   generate a Soda_private.pem with passphrase with openssl
                   generate Soda_ID.pem with creddy with supplied private key
                   generate Cream_ID.pem and clear Cream_private.pem with
                          creddy --generate --cn Cream

   This program will generate an attribute rule, write it out to an external
           file and also load it into the context 
           Soda.delicious <- Cream

   Then, a query is made against the context to see if it is populated correctly.

   Note: Cream's principal is loaded without it private key. It does not
         need to because it is not being used to generate attribute credential
