Why do you write a custom webscript to get user ticket? I didn't think it would be necessary.
After you login with any user using webscript api,you can get the ticket,and during the session you can use it do whatever you want to.

Thanks for your reply.
But when i used the alfresco webscript api i have to pass the username and password and I am using single sign on functionality.So it is not possible for me to get usename or password.
Is there any solution to get user ticket withour providing username and password.
Thanks.

Hi rutaveejshah,

I believe, In your SSO once user is authenticated you must be executing your webscript with - "wcservice" so script gets executed with same/current user's session.

You can get ticket in your script with js api

${session.ticket}‍

which calls ServiceRegistry.getAuthenticationService().getCurrentTicket();

Hope it helps!
