[Exist-development] Security/Realm problem in trunk.....restores fail using Java Admin Client!

[Andrzej J. T. <an...@ch...>]

Dimitry:

Your realm changes have broken the Java Admin Client's ability to do a restore.

Here is what happens:

Restore.setAdminCredentials() calls mgmt.updateUser( dba ) which ends up calling....

RemoteUserManagementService.updateUser(), which does a: parent.getClient().execute("setUser", params)

which ends up calling: SecurityManagerImpl.setUser().

Problem was that SecurityManagerImpl.setUser() was coded to call defaultRealm.addAccount(user), which would then throw
an IllegalArgumentException in the RealmImpl._addAccount() method, since the admin/dba user already exists.

I'm not sure why you are trying to add a new admin user rather than just setting the current user.

In any case, I have hacked the SecurityManagerImpl.setUser() code and commented out the defaultRealm.addAccount(user)
method invocation, which seems to allow the Java Admin Client to successfully initiate a Restore.

Could you please look into this chain of calls, and figure out that it should really be doing, Dimitry?

Thanks.
