----------------------------
> Extend DynamicSyncHandler to allow for dynamic groups
> -----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: OAK-9803
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-9803
> Project: Jackrabbit Oak
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: auth-external
> Reporter: Angela Schreiber
> Assignee: Angela Schreiber
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.46.0
>
>
> since OAK-4391 _oak-auth-external_ comes with a dynamic membership option
> that limits the synchronization of external identities to users and their
> group membership (see
> https://jackrabbit.apache.org/oak/docs/security/authentication/external/dynamic.html
> for documentation).
> while the feature meets the need to compute a set of principals for
> permission evaluation upon repository login, it has proven to cause some
> confusion when it comes to user management and discovering user-group
> relationship, which can be obtained from the principal management API (but no
> longer reflected in the repository's user management. reasoning: external
> identities are managed elsewhere and the repository is no longer in charge).
> with the introduction of the {{DynamicMembershipService}} interface (see
> OAK-9462), we would be able to improve that by optionally synchronizing
> external groups as dynamic (similar to the _everyone_ group) if dynamic
> membership flag is turned on.
