Summary: Impersonate User in Sling Testing Client
Key: SLING-10649
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-10649
Project: Sling
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Apache Sling Testing Clients
Affects Versions: Apache Sling Testing Clients 2.0.8
Reporter: Dan Klco
Fix For: Apache Sling Testing Clients 2.0.10
When testing functionality in Apache Sling applications it is often required to
use non-administrative users to ensure the functionality works for
less-privileged users or to test privilege-limited features.
With the current functionality in Sling Testing Clients, this means opening a
new SlingClient instance for the administrative and non-administrative users.
This can cause issues if the instances are load-balanced between a topology of
instances with eventual consistency as the two clients are not guaranteed to be
routed to the same instance.
Therefore, it would desirable to be able to impersonate another user, using the
same administrative Sling Testing Client, using the
[sling.sudo|https://github.com/apache/sling-org-apache-sling-auth-core/blob/f9799ec7f4eeac3a809d28adb711fbb7bcc8367d/src/main/java/org/apache/sling/auth/core/impl/SlingAuthenticator.java#L117]
cookie to impersonate the desired user from admin so that the same testing
client would be used, avoiding significant increases in complexity and
execution time in tests in needing to wait until the instances are consistent.
