--------------------------------------

[~anchela] thanks a lot for your patch.
I have seen it introduce a {{loginAdministrative(null);}} call. Is this intended?

> JCR-3802 introduces the concept of system users that distinct from regular user accounts and never have a password set. the API extensions include to following ability to discover if a given User is actually a system user: {{User.isSystemUser}}.
> It would be good if the service user mapping had a configuration option that would restrict the mapping to dedicated service users i.e. to users which are defined to be system users in case sling is running on a JCR repository that implements jackrabbit API.
