What is the security workspace for?

[Michael Shoener <ms...@softwareapps.net>]

What exactly is the "security" workspace used for?

I tried deleting it but it always recreates it when I restart my app server.

Is it needed and if not how do I stop it from recreating it.

the initial intention of the issue JCR-1171 (Contribute Pluggable Permission
and User Management to Jackrabbit) was to have the ability to store users
and groups in a separate workspace and making them available to other
workspaces through the UserManager.

you can turn this (separate wsp) of by changing the repository's
security-manager configuration (there is a param called "workspaceName" if
i'm not mistaken).
and if i remember properly the default workspace is used if the param is
missing.

that's the work-in-progress status in 1.5 and 1.6... not sure yet, how this
will exactly be for 2.0.

hope that helps
