Marcel Reutegger resolved JCR-2358.
-----------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
It seems the majority is in favour of keeping it the way it is right now.
Resolving as WONTFIX.
> 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).
