Adminisrative logins depend on password in the code or config
-------------------------------------------------------------
Key: SLING-1282
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-1282
Project: Sling
Issue Type: Bug
Components: JCR
Affects Versions: JCR Jackrabbit Server 2.0.6
Reporter: Ian Boston
Assignee: Ian Boston
Fix For: JCR Jackrabbit Server 2.0.6
Administrative logins use SimpleCredentials which means that they have to have
a password. Although this is a configuration parameter changing the admin
password creates some JVM timing difficulties especially when operating in a
cluster. (JVMs would probably need to be restarted with new config immediately
after changing the admin password.)
It would be better to use special credentials to indicate internal logins to
the repository (eg public final class AdministrativeCredentials implements
Credentials)
same is true for Anon/Guest users, although less important.
