>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-7935
>             Project: Qpid
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Java Broker
>            Reporter: Keith Wall
>
> When access control providers are installed at both the Broker and 
> VirtualHost, the one at the VirtualHost needs to DEFER if no decision is made 
> about an access decision.  This gives the Broker's  access control provider 
> the opportunity to make a decision instead.
> Currently, the legacy ACL file format supports a CONFIG directive that allows 
> the default result of the ruleset to be configure to be {{ALLOW}} or 
> {{DENY}}, but not {{DEFER}}.  If no CONFIG directive is specified the default 
> result is always {{DENY}}.
> If the user is using RuleBasedVirtualHostAccessControlProvider#loadFromFile 
> to populate their virtualhost rule-set, the users has to additionally 
> remember to reset the {{defaultResult}} to {{DEFER}} otherwise the 
> co-operation between Broker/VirtualHost will be broken.
> If the legacy ACL file format were to allow a CONFIG value of DEFER, then 
> this would eliminate the extra step.
> The suggested changes:
> # Change the legacy ACL file format to allow CONFIG to specify a default 
> result of DEFER.
> # Improve AbstractCommonRuleBasedAccessControlProvider#extractRules to that 
> it writes a CONFIG directive within the default result, if it is not the 
> default.
