> Key: JS2-527
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JS2-527
> Project: Jetspeed 2
> Type: Improvement
> Components: Security
> Versions: 2.1, 2.1-dev
> Reporter: Ate Douma
> Assignee: Ate Douma
> Fix For: 2.1, 2.1-dev
>
> By default, Jetspeed supports hierarchical names for role, group and user
> principal names and uses the '.' (dot) as a path or level separator.
> But right now (if ever) Jetspeed own admin portlets don't really use or
> support hierarchical principal definitions, even if the security model and
> component can handle it.
> Furthermore, and this is a major problem for some, because of this email
> addresses can't be used for user account names.
> By making hierarchical interpretation of principal (user,role and group)
> names optional, this now becomes possible.
> As we don't use factories for instantiating the principal classes, and I
> didn't want to cause a lot of api changes, I've opted for
> simple static methods on each principal type class through which this can be
> turned off.
> And by using Spring MethodInvokingFactoryBeans this can easily be configured
> through spring assembly.
> I'll add a new spring assembly file doing just that for all three principal
> classes but then commented out so by default everything stays the same.
> One example from this assembly file (hierarchical-principal-names.xml):
> <bean
> class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.MethodInvokingFactoryBean">
> <property name="staticMethod">
>
> <value>org.apache.jetspeed.security.impl.UserPrincipalImpl.useHierarchicalNames</value>
> </property>
> <property name="arguments">
> <value>false</value>
> </property>
> </bean>
