username using client context

Level 4

How to get the logged in username using client context. I tried following code, but got admin as output, where as i want output as user logged in the geometrixx website.

 Session session = resourceResolver.adaptTo(Session.class);
 String userName=session.getUserID();

i guess this can be done using client context. Can anyone help me out getting username from client context.

Thanks in advance.

In Javascript, you can do something like this to get the username:

CQ_Analytics.ClientContext.get("profile/authorizableId")

A ClientContext represents a dynamically assembled collection of user data - not really the logged in user. 

TO get user information/logged in users - you should  be using Jackrabbit User Manager API.

Here is a community article that talks about how to use this API from within an OSGi:

Developing AEM OSGi bundles that use Jackrabbit UserManager APIs

Here is a StackOverflow thread with more info:
