The unit test in [source:Packages/phpCRJackrabbit/Tests/T3P_phpCRJackrabbit_CheckPermissionTest.php T3P_phpCRJackrabbit_CheckPermissionTest.php] always fails. Reason is missing resp. wrong access control for the Jackrabbit setup. The (sparse) Jackrabbit documentation says:

----
The default Repository.login() method starts a repository session using the default workspace and no user credentials. Jackrabbit tries to use the Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS) configuration in such cases, but defaults to the anonymous user if a JAAS Subject is not found.

...

As discussed in the First Hop example, the default Repository.login() method returns an anonymous read-only session in the Jackrabbit default configuration. To be able to store and remove content we need to create a session with write access, and to do that we need to pass some credentials to the Repository.login(Credentials credentials) method.

The default Jackrabbit login mechanism accepts any username and password as valid credentials and returns a session with full write access. Thus we only need to construct and use a !SimpleCredentials instance with some dummy username and password, in this case "username" and "password".
----

So the read-only session should be fetched without calling login() at all... or we define a different login manager for Jackrabbit and use that to verify user credentials.
