             Summary: LoginModuleImpl: option to have AuthInfo populated with userId instead of loginName
                 Key: OAK-4462
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-4462
             Project: Jackrabbit Oak
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: core
            Reporter: angela
            Assignee: angela
            Priority: Minor


The current implementation of {{LoginModuleImpl}} _always_ populates the {{AuthInfo}} with the userId as extracted from the {{Credentials}} or the shared state; doing so will make {{Session.getUserID()}} expose the 'login-id', which may or may not correspond to the ID of the corresponding {{User}} as it is expected to exist with this login module implementation.

While this clearly is a design decision with the {{LoginModuleImpl}} and perfectly in accordance with the API contract of {{Session.getUserID()}}, there might be cases, where equality of {{Session.getUserID()}} and {{User.getID()}} would be desirable.

So, we may think about adding an option to the default authentication; be it with {{LoginModuleImpl}} and|or the {{UserAuthenticationFactory}}|{{UserAuthentication}}.
