Re: Since sling is support ing for jackrabbit 1.5 why doesn't providehttp api for user manager?

Actually, if you need to, it's simple to access the "security" workspace 
(if you have the admin credentials):

<%
   Session jcrSession = currentNode.getSession();
   SimpleCredentials creds = new 
SimpleCredentials("admin","admin".toCharArray());
   Session secSession = jcrSession.getRepository().login(creds,"security");
  
   Query secQuery = 
secSession.getWorkspace().getQueryManager().createQuery("//element(*,rep:User)","xpath");
   QueryResult secResult = secQuery.execute();
%>

That should list all users configured in the repository (as a result of 
UserManager.createUser() calls, and the admin/anonymous profiles).

HI:

   thanks very much for telling me so much , I have another question , 

if I want to user the user manager in sling, Do I have to change the 

sling code (sling repository:  repository.xml replace the SimpleAccessManager 

to DefultAccessManager  and other interface.)

You need to do two things to get access to 
UserManager/PrincipalManager.  First, you should remove the 
org.apache.sling.jcr.jackrabbit.api bundle.  Then download the 
Jackrabbit 1.5 API bundle & install that instead (it's OSGI-ified).  
That will export the releveant JSR283 packages.
Then you should  be able to do the following (in a JSP or anywhere you 
have a Session):
UserManager userManager = null;
if(session instanceof PooledJackrabbitSession) {
    userManager = ((PooledJackrabbitSession)session).getUserManager();
} else {
    // use reflection since Jackrabbit.core package not exported
    Method m = session.getClass().getMethod("getUserManager");
    userManager = (UserManager)m.invoke(session);
}
This same pattern works for PrincipalManager which is exposed on the 
JackrabbitSession.  If you want the AccessControlManager (to set ACLs), 
you'll need to use the reflection approach only for now.  You don't need 
to actually access the "security" workspace in order to create & manager 
users (although there's no good way to list all users right now, so 
accessing the workspace probably would give you that ability).
I've created a utility class that wraps up all this messy code - I'll 
open an issue & submit the patch now.

HI:

   As I know , now sling is support for jackrabbit 1.5 , it will 

more powerfull if sling can provide api for user manager .

   And is there any way to implement user manage with sling 

if I implement it myself ? how can I get ""security" workspace?

It's seems that there isn't "security" workspace in sling's 

jackrabbit repository.
