Emmanuel Lecharny commented on DIRSERVER-606:
---------------------------------------------

regarding your proposal :

a) Yeah, we can do that. This is for RC2, and its better to have something that 
works, even if you can read your password, than something that is badly broken.

a-2) I agree with "minimal built-in rules". I used legacy, because it was 
something which will be removed soon. I don't know when, may be in 1.1 or in 1.0

b) Yes, we have to update the doc.  Feel free to ask Alex about the intricacy 
of ACI usage with the newer AuthorizationService. As he wrote the code, he is 
the one who know it the best. We sure need this doco if we want users not to be 
puzzled as we are...

Password things : I'm not very confortable with it. I don't like the fact for 
instance that I can read my passwords in Firefox. The problem is if you can do 
that, then you will have to be paranoïd  : each time you go to have a copy, 
lock  your computer... I don't see any occasion where clear password need to be 
shown to the user, even if the files that contains the entries is not crypted 
(eh eh, another improvment ...). Well, this is another problem, and we can fill 
a JIRA for that, too :)

> Agreed and understood. But, the user, after binding with the directory,
