Hi,

I think I have found what I was looking for as an introduction in
Jackrabbit [1].

[1] http://wiki.apache.org/jackrabbit/AccessControl

So from a Sling perspective, I have to login to the JCR using, e.g.
org.apache.sling.jcr.api.SlingRepository.login() somewhere in my code
with the right user credentials. But Sling also provides JAAS
functionality at the /j_security_check endpoint, right?
