Konrad Windszus commented on JCRVLT-683: ---------------------------------------- [~madamcin] Any update? I would like to do a release soon (including this fix). > Import of Authorizable node with acHandling=IGNORE should preserve existing > rep:principalPolicy child node > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: JCRVLT-683 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCRVLT-683 > Project: Jackrabbit FileVault > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Packaging > Affects Versions: 3.6.6 > Reporter: Mark Adamcin > Assignee: Konrad Windszus > Priority: Major > Fix For: 3.6.10 > > > For situations where an authorizable node may be distributed from another > environment where a different rep:principalPolicy for the user is defined > than exists for that user in the target environment, it is important that the > existing rep:principalPolicy be preserved when acHandling is unset, > acHandling=IGNORE, or acHandling=MERGE_PRESERVE. > Currently, the effective behavior of such a package install, as [it appears > to be implemented in > DocViewImporter|https://github.com/apache/jackrabbit-filevault/blob/5f9657374bd6c2d3dd1f6e9e2be0b9f5b25ddc26/vault-core/src/main/java/org/apache/jackrabbit/vault/fs/impl/io/DocViewImporter.java#L782-L787], > results in the following: > * If the package specifies acHandling=IGNORE, the existing > rep:principalPolicy is deleted without replacement, regardless of whether the > package contains its own rep:principalPolicy, which is equivalent to > *acHandling=CLEAR* > * If the package specifies acHandling=MERGE_PRESERVE or MERGE, the existing > rep:principalPolicy is replaced with whatever rep:principalPolicy is > contained in the package, or deletes the policy if a replacement is not > present, which is equivalent to *acHandling=OVERWRITE* > Unexpectedly, the least destructive (and most default) acHandling mode > (IGNORE) turns out to be as destructive to packaged system user permissions > as choosing any other mode. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
