--------------------------------------
Summary: CLONE - BlobStore.putBlob throws RuntimeException with
filesystem provider on localized Windows
Key: JCLOUDS-1423
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCLOUDS-1423
Project: jclouds
Issue Type: Bug
Components: jclouds-blobstore
Affects Versions: 1.9.1
Environment: Microsoft Windows (tested on 7 and 10), Java 7 and 8.
Reporter: Gunther Wiest
Assignee: Zack Shoylev
Fix For: 2.1.0, 2.0.1
When using the filesystem provider on a localized Windows system putBlob
consistenly throws a RuntimeException. The put operation does succeed, however,
meaning a viable workaround is to catch-and-ignore.
The cause of the Exception is a UserPrincipalNotFoundException which is thrown
in org.jclouds.filesystem.util.Utils while trying to resolve the Windows
'Everyone' user group using UserPrincipalLookupService.lookupPrincipalByName.
Turns out the 'Everyone' group/user is only actually available on Windows
systems set to an English locale, whilst other locales will likely have
localized names for the group (tested on Norwegian Windows in which the
Everyone group is known as "Alle").
The only ubiquitous reference to any of the built-in groups or users on a
Windows system are the SIDs. For example, 'Everyone' is known as 'S-1-1-0'.
Unfortunately, the API exposed in java.nio.file doesn't accept SIDs for lookup,
meaning there is, as far as I can tell, no pure Java solution to resolving the
UserPrincipal without knowing the (localized) name.
