[jira] [Updated] (SLING-4461) Remove fallbacks for service users
resolution
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-4461?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Marius Petria updated SLING-4461:
---------------------------------
Description:
ServiceUserMapperImpl has several levels of fallback for service user resolution (fallback to bundle default, or to global default). While this offers a lot of flexibility, it introduces non-determinism in a security feature. If defaults are set, it can happen (especially at startup) that code is executed using different serviceUsers, e.g. a component can execute using the bundle default or
global default until its specific subService is available, and it can be
easily imagined how this can cause subtle errors.
