Description

The AbstractPrincipalProvider contains a cache, which stores the the mapping of Principal-String to Principal object; this cache is limited in size by default to 1000 entries.

By default, the init() method where the cache is initialized is called from org.apache.jackrabbit.core.UserPerWorkspaceSecurityManager , always with an empty Properties object :

private PrincipalProviderRegistry getPrincipalProviderRegistry(SessionImpl s) throws RepositoryException {
        String wspName = s.getWorkspace().getName();
        synchronized (monitor) {
            PrincipalProviderRegistry p = ppRegistries.get(wspName);
           .......

                PrincipalProvider defaultPP = new DefaultPrincipalProvider(systemSession, (UserManagerImpl) getUserManager(systemSession));
                defaultPP.init(new Properties());
.....
        }
    }

There should be a way to easily define this property.
