> Currently anonymous access caused by missing credentials in the request is granted using the underlying repository's notion of anonymous user. This is achieved by calling ResourceResolverFactory.getResourceResolver with a null argument.
> Sometimes, though, it may be the case, that the underlying ResourceProvider(s) do not grant access for null credentials. One such case might be a jackrabbit repository whose anonymous user has been disabled and Repository.login with null credentials would fail.
> As discussed on the dev [1] and users [2] list, it might be helpful to be able to configure user name and password for assumed anonymous access.
