Hi,
I have a CDO Repository set up including a security realm with a few permissions.
Branching the repository works, and the permissions are applied, even when working on branches.

As i understand the code, and a few related bugzillas, the security manager is supposed to work that way, ie. maintaing the realm on the Main branch.

However if i start to structurally change the model in a branch, i get occasional IllegalStateException with the Message "Security not supported with auditing or branching" in updatePermissions(CDOSessionImpl.java:1945), even though i did not change anything in the security realm. The change is successfully commited though. Afaik this happens only when moving items in the model to different locations, but creating and changing items works. Every subsequent commit (after this exception) is extremely slow, without any output whatsoever (~5 seconds instead of a few milliseconds), but still comes through.But commit operations that are that slow are not really viable. After reconnecting to the server everything works again (at least until it happens again)

I tried to debug what happens, and it seems that the Session gets an invalidation notification about the commit and it is tagged as IMPACT_PERMISSIONS by the server (That may be correct though, it is not really clear to see what that is supposed to do by just looking at the code).

I tried to remove the exception and return null instead, just to see what happens, and it seemed to work...

Is there something i did wrong?

Greetings,
Samuel

Hi Samuel,

I think the exception is not related to any particular operation that you apply to your model.

The problem is conceptual and quite tricky:

The computed permission of an object can depend not only on that object itself, but also on other reachable objects in
the object graph. The object graph is represented by a CDOView. The computed permission is stored in the CDORevision
that backs the object and that revision is shared among different objects (with the same CDOID) in different views. Now
it can happen that two such objects are structurally identical but have different neighbourhoods and that could result
in different permissions which would both have to be stored in the same CDORevision.

To address this problem the entire security infrastructure would have to be changed; probably a multi-week effort ;-(

Cheers
