---------------------------------------------------------------
The JCR standard doesn't currently define a separate attributes parameter,
there is only login(Credentials credentials, String workspaceName). For the
next version of the standard, maybe we should consider adding this method?

> Key: JCR-3634
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-3634
> Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: jackrabbit-api
> Affects Versions: 2.7.1
> Reporter: Michael Dürig
>
> As discussed [1] we need a way for passing session attributes on login
> without having to fall back to credentials. The latter might not support
> credentials or not be present at all when authentication is handled
> externally.
> I suggest to add the following method to JackrabbitRepository:
> /**
> * Equivalent to <code>login(credentials, workspace)</code> where
> * <ul>
> * <li><code>workspace = attributes.get(ATT_WORKSPACE_NAME)</code>,</li>
> * <li><code>credentials</code> carry all and only the attributes passed
> * through the <code>attributes</code> map.</li>
> * </ul>
> *
> * @param credentials the credentials of the user
> * @param attributes the attributes to put into the session
> * @return a valid session for the user to access the repository.
> * @throws javax.jcr.LoginException if authentication or authorization for
> the
> * specified workspace fails.
> * @throws javax.jcr.NoSuchWorkspaceException if the specified workspace is
> not recognized.
> * @throws javax.jcr.RepositoryException if another error occurs.
> */
> Session login(Credentials credentials, Map<String, Object> attributes);
> See also OAK-803 for some more background.
