IMO, it should be different vote. In case APPLICATION_PATH is explicitly
specified, it should be used. If it is not specified, there are few
options to consider.
1. My suggestion was always default to the impersonated user home
directory as a starting point for constructing APPLICATION_PATH
2. Your suggestion is to have another settings that will allow to choose
between impersonated and impersonating users. Please propose what will
be the default for the new setting ( a) impersonating or b) impersonated).
Thank you,

I thought it was the mechanism you suggested to specify impersonating
user's directory so I listed it here. If I am mistaken and your option is
not covered, please include it and since it is early in the voting folks
can include it in their voting preference. If not, please provide your
choice.
Thanks

I don't see how option a is applicable here. In case APPLICATION_PATH is
explicitly specified should not it be used independently of impersonation?
It can point to any location, not necessarily to home directory of
impersonating or impersonated user.

a few different approaches were discussed including the pros and cons. I
would like to put the suggested approaches up for a vote. Please go
through
the thread above if you are unfamiliar with the topic. Here are the
options.
1. Let the default remain as the impersonating user
a. The user specifies to use impersonated user's directory by
setting the APPLICATION_PATH attribute.
b. The user specifies the use of impersonated user's resources
using
a new setting that will internally set the APPLICATION_PATH to the
corresponding value and any other resources in the future.
2. Change the default from current behavior to use the impersonated user's
resources instead
a. and b. similar to 1. but specifying impersonating user's
resources instead.
My vote is for Option 1, Sub-option b).
Thanks
