BackgroundI've followed the guidlines as set out on http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Java-backed_Web_Scripts_Samples for writing Java-backed webscripts.My webscripts does it's job and uses some Alfresco APIs that require authentication. In order to authenticate I have tried stuff likeAuthenticationUtil

Hi,

I think the issue you are seeing is possibly related to using the clearCurrentSecurityContext method.

I would suggest using the runAs method on AuthenticationUtils. This will ensure that the user is setup and reset in the correct way and prevents you from having to do things by hand.

Cheers,
