-----------------------------
Summary: RepoInit: documentation implies that users can be created
with pw-hash
Key: SLING-8726
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-8726
Project: Sling
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Documentation
Reporter: angela
the documentation for repo init contains the following example on line 171:
{code}
create user demoUser with password {SHA-256}
dc460da4ad72c482231e28e688e01f2778a88ce31a08826899d54ef7183998b5
{code}
this implies that repo init allows to create a user with a pw-hash. however,
this is not the case, when looking at the corresponding code in
{{o.a.s.jcr.repoinit}}, which ultimately calls {{UserManager.createUser(id, pw,
principal, intermediatePath}}, which takes a plain text password (any string or
null). if and how the pw is being hashed is an implementation detail.
in order to make this clear and no generate the impression that a pw-hash can
be specified, i would suggest to change the example to
{code}
create user demoUser with password plaintextpw
{code}
