Impersonate user in AEM 6.2

How to impersonate the user from code in AEM 6.2?

I understand it is not the same way as AEM 6.0. Please help.

Hi,

The below should work in AEM 6.2

(repository.impersonateFromService(Constants.WORKFLOW_USER,

  new SimpleCredentials(item.getWorkflow().getInitiator();, "".toCharArray()), null), resolverFactory)

HI cquser1,

Can you explain how it works?

It uses this API: Session (Content Repository for Java Technology API Version 2.0)

This worked for us:

@Reference

    private ResourceResolverFactory resourceResolverFactory;

@Reference

    private SlingRepository repository;

public void execute(WorkItem workItem, WorkflowSession workflowSession, MetaDataMap args) throws WorkflowException {

        Session session = workflowSession.getSession();

        ResourceResolver resourceResolver = resourceResolver = getResourceResolver(resourceResolverFactory, session);

        final String initiator = workItem.getWorkflow().getInitiator();

        Session userSession = repository.impersonateFromService("workflow-process-service", new SimpleCredentials(initiator, "".toCharArray()), null);

//other logic

}
