Hi all It has been noted that our SlingRepository.loginAdministrative and ResourceResolverFactory.getAdministrativeResourceResolver solve a problem but are suboptimal in that they provide administrative privileges. To solve this dilemma I have created the Service Authentication concept [1] and implemented a prototype [2].
I am now ready to reintegrate this prototype into the main code base tracked by SLING-2944 [3]. The proposed changes to the code base are attached as a patch (of existing code) and a package of the new Service User Mapper bundle. I would like you to review that code before I go ahead integrating it into the code base sometime next week. Thank you very much. Regards Felix [1] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SLING/Service+Authentication [2] http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/sling/whiteboard/fmeschbe/deprecate_login_administrative [3] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-2944
