Hello,
I have developed a new wizard.
In my program, I create a new administrator session.
See the following code:

FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ServiceRegistry serviceRegistry =  Repository.getServiceRegistry(context);
AuthenticationService authenticationService = serviceRegistry.getAuthenticationService();
authenticationService.authenticate("admin", "admin".toCharArray());
‍‍‍‍‍‍

How can I create a administrator session without writing the password of admin?
Thanks a lot,
Luc

I'm not sure you can retrieve the admin username but you can make some code run as admin, it just depends on what you are trying to achieve as to whether its appropriate for you.

AuthenticationUtil.runAs(new AuthenticationUtil.RunAsWork<Object>()
{
   public Object doWork() throws Exception
   {
      // do something

      return null;
   }
}, "admin");‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
