Marcel Reutegger resolved JCR-2358.
-----------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

It seems the majority is in favour of keeping it the way it is right now. Resolving as WONTFIX.

> Contrary to JavaDoc the AuthContextProvider prefers the local configuration in repository.xml. When the class was first introduced in 1.5, the implementation did what was documented, but then JCR-1977 was reported. I think we shouldn't have fixed it that way. Prefering JAAS over the local configuration makes sense IMO and works well if Configuration.getAppConfigurationEntry() is correctly implemented and behaves as specified/expected.
> I suggest we revert to the 1.5 preference sequence and introduce a parameter that instructs the AuthContextProvider to ignore the JAAS configuration (as a workaround for the buggy application servers).
