Description

Felix made a good proposal how to decouple the authentication mechanism from JCR at [1] after the discussion at [2]. The remaining issue there was how to ensure JCR sessions which are placed into AuthenticationInfo be closed. To solve that issue we now can use the new SlingRequestListener [3].
