As a workaround I have used the Policies Repository within

src/contributions/resources/security-api/src/java/org/wyona/yanel/impl/resources/securityapi/UserManagerResource.java

(} else if (path.endsWith(".policy")) { // WARNING/TODO: This check 
violates the API!)

but this is really not nice and should be changed as soon as possible.
