----------------------------------------
+1, I think the situation is already improved ( both from a functional and code
coherence point of view ).
> Avoid registration of auth requirements for aliases and vanity paths
> --------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: SLING-9622
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-9622
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Authentication
> Reporter: Carsten Ziegeler
> Assignee: Carsten Ziegeler
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: Auth Core 1.5.0
>
> Time Spent: 1.5h
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> Right now when auth requirements are registered, they need to be registered
> for the resource path, as well as all vanity paths and potentially all
> combinations of aliases for that path. First of all, this creates potentially
> a lot of auth requirements for a single path, but as well requires that the
> registrar of the auth requirement to be aware of vanity paths and aliases and
> do the right thing and update the auth requirements whenever there are
> changes.
> We should avoid these additional registrations and processing.
> The SlingAuthenticator is currently checking the request path against the
> auth requirements. We could change this with checking the resolved path. So
> the authenticator could use a service user resolver and resolve the path and
> then check the auth requirements.
> This avoids all the extra work for the registrar of the auth requirements,
> but comes with the additional cost of a resolve call per request
