You don't have to implement an AccessManagerPlugin unless you want
something else than an Access Control List.
In my case, I wanted to implement access control policies such as "let
this node be available only on Fridays", so I had to implement my own
AMP.
If you're happy with setting access control rights as you would in an
operating system, go with the default AccessManager.
I'm not sure, but I suspect it would be sufficient to implement a
LoginModulePlugin. The LMP will then issue Principals, consumed by the
AM. The UserManager is only used when you want to store your user data
in the Jackrabbit repository itself - which it sounds you won't do
("externalize the user/group management").
