Comment: Fixed "netted" -> "NetID"

...

If you are currently using Email based authentication (either 1 or 2) and want to upgrade to NetID based authentication then there is an easy path. Simply enable shibboleth to pass the NetID attribute and set the netid-header below to the correct value. When a user attempts to log in to DSpace first DSpace will look for an EPerson with the passed NetID, however when this fails DSpace will fall back to email based authentication. Then DSpace will update the user's EPerson account record to set their netted NetID so all future authentications for this user will be based upon nettedNetID. One thing to note is that DSpace will prevent an account from switching NetIDs. If an account all ready already has a NetID set and then they try and authenticate with a different NetID the authentication will fail.
