Examples of PrincipalManager

org.apache.jackrabbit.api.security.principal.PrincipalManager

This interface defines the principal manager which is the clients view on all principals known to the repository. Each principal manager is bound to a session and is restricted by the respective access control. The principal manager in addition provides basic search facilities.

A {@link Principal} is an object used to connect to any kind of security mechanism. Example for this are the {@link javax.security.auth.spi.LoginModule login modules} that use principalsto process the login procedure.
A principal can be a member of a {@link Group}. A group is a principal itself and can therefore be a member of a group again.

Please note the following security considerations that need to be respected when implementing the PrincipalManager: All principals returned by this manager as well as {@link Group#members()} must respect access restrictionsthat may be present for the Session this manager has been built for. The same applies for {@link #getGroupMembership(Principal)}.

                acMgr.getPolicies(EveryonePrincipal.getInstance()).length > 0) {
            // test expects that only resource-based acl is supported
            throw new NotExecutableException();
        }


        PrincipalManager pmgr = sImpl.getPrincipalManager();
        if (!pmgr.hasPrincipal(SecurityConstants.ADMINISTRATORS_NAME)) {
            UserManager umgr = sImpl.getUserManager();
            umgr.createGroup(new PrincipalImpl(SecurityConstants.ADMINISTRATORS_NAME));
            if (!umgr.isAutoSave()) {
                sImpl.save();
            }
            if (pmgr.hasPrincipal(SecurityConstants.ADMINISTRATORS_NAME)) {
                throw new NotExecutableException();
            }
        }
