try {
            String alfrescoHost = ConfigurationUtils.getConfigProperty(ParameterKeys.ALFRESCO_HOST);
            WebServiceFactory.setEndpointAddress(alfrescoHost);

            TechnicalUser techUser = getUserService().findTechnicalUserAlfresco(ctx.getCaller());
            AuthenticationUtils.startSession(techUser.getName(), techUser.getPassword());
        } catch (SamlIdpException e) {
            LOGGER.error("user service findTechnicalUser not available", e);
            throw new OnlineIOException(OnlineIOTechnicalErrorCodes.ALFRESCO_AUTH_ERROR.toString(),
                    CategoryType.TECHNICAL, e);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            LOGGER.error("user service exception", e);
            throw new OnlineIOException(OnlineIOTechnicalErrorCodes.ALFRESCO_AUTH_ERROR.toString(),
