Impersonate in webservice

[lascaux]

Hi,

I already use the impersonate concept in some Alfresco development using the following :

// get current connexion ticket
String myCurrentTicket = authenticationService.getCurrentTicket();

// set user for the next operations 
AuthenticationUtil.setCurrentUser("admin");

//
// do some work as user "admin"
//

// restore previous connexion
authenticationService.validate(myCurrentTicket);         
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I need to do the same but with WebServices, but I don't find the required method in the webservice client provided by Alfresco ?

Thanks,

Sylvain

Hi,

Webservice API is not being developed further as alfresco has been moving towards webscript.
Workaround would be to write a custom action and invoke that using the webservice call.
