Prefer JAAS configuration if present
------------------------------------
Key: JCR-2358
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-2358
Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: jackrabbit-core
Affects Versions: 1.6.0
Reporter: Marcel Reutegger
Priority: Minor
Contrary to JavaDoc the AuthContextProvider prefers the local configuration in
repository.xml. When the class was first introduced in 1.5, the implementation
did what was documented, but then JCR-1977 was reported. I think we shouldn't
have fixed it that way. Prefering JAAS over the local configuration makes sense
IMO and works well if Configuration.getAppConfigurationEntry() is correctly
implemented and behaves as specified/expected.
I suggest we revert to the 1.5 preference sequence and introduce a parameter
that instructs the AuthContextProvider to ignore the JAAS configuration (as a
workaround for the buggy application servers).
