Re: Deprecation of SlingRepository.loginAdministrative()

I believe at one point this impersonateFromService was implemented using an admin session, i.e. essentially ignoring the "my-service" service user name argument. And maybe that implementation is still used in AEM 6.3. However, the current state of Sling and Oak would actually use a service

Re: Deprecation of SlingRepository.loginAdministrative()

Hey Jörg, Alexander, Maybe it's just me, but for me the method works (on an AEM 6.3) without putting any impersonators on any user, thats why I of course mentioned the method, else it wouldn't have answered the question: def session = slingRepository.impersonateFromService("my-service", new

Re: Deprecation of SlingRepository.loginAdministrative()

Re: Deprecation of SlingRepository.loginAdministrative()

Hi Roy, that's indeed good news, as it seems to solve the impersonation usecase. On the other hand the javadoc is quite clear, that the requirements of the impersonation process itself come from the underlying repository. I typically use Oak and the Oak documentation at [1] says that with the

Re: Deprecation of SlingRepository.loginAdministrative()

Hey Andres, We had a similar use case to do impersonation, there is another method for that now: https://sling.apache.org/apidocs/sling10/org/apache/sling/jcr/api/SlingRepository.html#impersonateFromService-java.lang.String-javax.jcr.Credentials-java.lang.String-

Re: Deprecation of SlingRepository.loginAdministrative()

Maybe a solution would be - deprecate / remove the method ( to avoid old code to run as admin) - rename the class / method and add an info to the log in this way we make sure that old code gets migrated to service users, and the places where it really makes sense to use admin user, the
