Alexander Klimetschek commented on OAK-4845:
--------------------------------------------
There was a bug in the test code, the verification if the user is a member of
the group at the end of {{testMembershipForExistingLocalGroup}} was assuming a
fixed order of the iterator.
Updated [^OAK-4845.patch] (and [new commit on
github|https://github.com/alexkli/jackrabbit-oak/commit/398ae15d5d23c5416087260ac8a00b1fefdbbfb0]).
> Regression: DefaultSyncContext does not sync membership to a local group

> OAK-4397 introduced a regression: it does not allow syncing to a locally
> existing group anymore (that does not belong to another IDP).
> Updating to 1.4.7 now gives "Existing authorizable 'X' is not a group from
> this IDP 'foo'.", and the group is not synced and most importantly,
> memberships for external users are not updated anymore. Looking at the group
> in JCR, it does not have a {{rep:externalId}} at all, only a
> {{rep:lastSynced}}.
> Code wise, this is because the {{rep:externalId}} is only ever set in
> {{createGroup()}}, i.e. when the external sync creates that group initially.
> If the group is already present locally (but not owned by another IDP!), then
> it won't use it due to the new {{isSameIDP()}} check, which will also fail if
> there is no {{rep:externalId}} property set.
> The use case is that we are defining the group locally as part of our
> application already (including ACs etc.) and we want certain external users
> be added to it, based on some some of their settings on the external IDP
> side. FWIW, we don't care for the syncing of properties for the group itself,
> just for the memberships.
