AEM 6 | How to get Session and Resource Resolver

The following methods are deprecated:

• ResourceResolverFactory.getAdministrativeResourceResolver
• ResourceProviderFactory.getAdministrativeResourceProvider
• SlingRepository.loginAdministrative

Now we can use the following code :

Map<String, Object> param = new HashMap<String, Object>();

param.put(ResourceResolverFactory.SUBSERVICE, "dummyuser");

resolver = resolverFactory.getServiceResourceResolver(param);

session = repository.loginService(null, null);

We need to set the service "Apache Sling Service User Mapper". Each entry is of the form 'bundleId [ ":" subServiceName ] "=" userName' where bundleId and subServiceName identify the service and userName defines the name of the user to provide to the service.  like : org.mysample.core:dummyuser=analyticsservice

Note : The user (analyticsservice described in above example) node needs to have the following properties

• jcr:primaryType="rep:SystemUser"
• jcr:uuid="<some value>"
• rep:principalName="<some value>"
• rep:authorizableId="<some value>"

Also that the user *must not have* a password , and defined user must have sufficient permissions to perform the required tasks.
