Subject: CREATOR_ALL_ACL together with IPAuthenticationProvider

We were trying to use the predefined ACL "Ids.CREATOR_ALL_ACL" together 
with the default ip authentication. Unfortunately it seems that this 
cannot work due to the implementation of the 
PrepRequestProcessor.fixupACL() method checking the return value of the 
AuthenticationProvider.isAuthenticated() (the IPAuthenticationProvider 
in our case) method. Unfortunately this provider always returns false 
which results in the Ids.CREATOR_ALL_ACL to be always rejected.

We have a working work around in our testcode which is to create our own 
ACL instance that uses the local static ip of the system as part of the 
Id. This seems to work well for us (others can read the data but not 
change it). However it would be great if someone could shed some light 
on whether the above mentioned behavior is intended (in that case the 
documentation for the Ids.CREATOR_ALL_ACL constant should state that) or 
if it is a bug.
