No, PlonePAS migrates the acl_users on the 'first found above' to be a
compatible PAS acl_users setup, with existing users migrated, only if
it's a standard 'User Folder'.
caveat, I am not into PAS yet, I am only following the discussion for
fuutre work, so I may not be understanding corretly how PAS works:
"first found above" sounds like it is the Zope-root in a normal Plone
install: ie. / is the zope root, where there is an acl_users. /Portal is
the Plone default install. /Portal/acl_users is the non-pas location of
a user folder if one creates one at or after creating a Plone Site object.
"first found above" means... /Portal/../acl_users --> /acl_users?
Or does "first found above" mean /Portal/acl_users ?
Assuming, I have understood this correclty, if there is no
/Portal/acl_users, then I can understand that there logically is no
other user folder than /acl_users to PAS-ify... but that is, imho,
perhaps a bit too invasive - better to offer the user an option to
create a new PAS-ified acl_users at /Portal level rather than silenlty
PAS-ify the root acl_users.
We have all learned that replacing the root acl_users is generally not a
good idea, so doing this semi-silently is perhaps a bit premature. Until
Zope ships with PAS as the default user folder implementation, replacing
root user folders should be treated as a special case that is to be
avoided and alternative options should be offered.
Apologies if I am misunderstanding everything and wasting bandwith.
Sincerely,
