h4. 1. Characteristics of the Principal Management Implementation
The default implementation of the principal management API basically
corresponds to the default in Jackrabbit 2.x and is based on the user
management implementation. Note however, that as of OAK only a single principal
provider is exposed on the SPI level (used to be multiple principal providers
with the LoginModule configuration in Jackrabbit 2.x). See the configuration
section below for details
h4. 2. API Extensions
* {{PrincipalProvider}} [0]: SPI level access to principals known to the
repository which is also used by the default implementation of the
{{PrincipalManager}} interface. This interface replaces the internal
PrincipalProvider interface present in Jackrabbit 2.x. Note, that principals
from different sources can be supported by using {{CompositePrincipalProvider}}
[1] or a similar implementation that proxies different sources.
* {{AdminPrincipal}}: Marker interface to identify the principal associated
with administrative user(s) [2].
* {{EveryonePrincipal}}: built-in group principal implementation that has every
other valid principal as member [3].
h4. 3. Configuration
* {{PrincipalConfiguration}} [4]:
** {{getPrincipalManager}} -> returns a new instance of
o.a.j.api.security.principal.PrincipalManager [5] (see also
{{JackrabbitSession#getPrincipalManager()}}
** {{getPrincipalProvider}} -> returns a new instance of principal provider.
Note, that in contrast to Jackrabbit 2.x the system may only have one single
principal provider implementation configured. In order to combine principals
from different sources a implementation that properly handles the different
sources is required; the {{CompositePrincipalProvider}} [1] is an example that
combines multiple implementations.
