Retrieving current user in Hybris

[former_member635945]

Hi, is userService.currentUser( ) expected to return the current user even when the front end is managed by some other tool/technology and we are using Hybris only for the backend?

How does Hybris know which user has logged in?

Yes, the de.hybris.platform.spring.security.CoreAuthenticationProvider puts the user into the JaloSession. It is used by default in every web application which is secured with spring security (storefront, backoffice, hac, ...) and should be used also via oauth for all the rest-based webservices.
