I mean repository configuration, which will pass to repository
instance during initialisation, not repository instance itself.

I am not sure it's good practice to associated session user with
repository storage (by default I refer to jdbc database server) user.
Because different session user may have different privilege on
database server, while repository doesn't recognise the difference
(e.g. reader user is not allowed to update on db and will fail to
create schema and update).
We are trying to agree on to associate the storage username/password
with repository or session, right?
Where to put the username/password is another discussion, via
repository xml, url, factory, osgi or any of them.
