Mark Adamcin updated JCRVLT-683:
--------------------------------
Description:
For situations where an authorizable node may be distributed from another
environment where a different rep:principalPolicy for the user is defined than
exists for that user in the target environment, it is important that the
existing rep:principalPolicy be preserved when acHandling is unset,
acHandling=IGNORE, or acHandling=MERGE_PRESERVE.
Currently, the effective behavior of such a package install, as [it appears to
be implemented in
DocViewImporter|https://github.com/apache/jackrabbit-filevault/blob/5f9657374bd6c2d3dd1f6e9e2be0b9f5b25ddc26/vault-core/src/main/java/org/apache/jackrabbit/vault/fs/impl/io/DocViewImporter.java#L782-L787],
results in the following:
* If the package specifies acHandling=IGNORE, the existing rep:principalPolicy
is deleted without replacement, regardless of whether the package contains its
own rep:principalPolicy, which is equivalent to *acHandling=CLEAR*
* If the package specifies acHandling=MERGE_PRESERVE or MERGE, the existing
rep:principalPolicy is replaced with whatever rep:principalPolicy is contained
in the package, or deletes the policy if a replacement is not present, which is
equivalent to *acHandling=OVERWRITE*
Unexpectedly, the least destructive (and most default) acHandling mode (IGNORE)
turns out to be as destructive as choosing any other mode.
