Ok, I've been reading up on:
https://sling.apache.org/documentation/the-sling-engine/service-authentication.html
and looking at the config for:
org.apache.sling.serviceusermapping.impl.ServiceUserMapperImpl
Things are getting a little clearer, but I still don't see how I can actually
use it… I've been looking through the sling source code and I haven't found
anything that uses the new system yet. Are there any examples?
I just want to get hold of a ResourceResolver using the new system, and this
should be the repository's admin user. I'm only writing a simple datastore
garbage collector service. In fact, all of my services will probably run as the
admin user - at this time I have no plans for users/user management.
This will happen in one of my services. Even if I add my service to the
ServiceUserMapperImpl configuration it looks like I still need to have the
credentials for the admin user.
