Implement OSGi User Admin Service on JCR
----------------------------------------
Key: SLING-820
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-820
Project: Sling
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: JCR
Reporter: Felix Meschberger
Now that Jackrabbit starts to support access control (as per its implementation
of JSR-283 aka JCR 2.0), it might be usefull to have an OSGi User Admin
Specification implementation based on this functionality.
There would be multiple use cases for this implementation:
* The Apache Felix Web Console could be extended to use the User Admin Service
to authenticate and control access instead of having its internal access control
* The SlingAuthenticator could support the OSGi Authorization object such that
the HttpServletRequest.isUserInRole may be implemented
The question currently is, where such an implementation would be located:
* Apache Felix -- home of the Apache implementation of OSGi specs
* Apache Jackrabbit -- home of the JCR reference implementation
* Apache Sling -- yeah, you know it ;-)
