impersonation

I do not have knowledge on Spring Impersonating user. I have gone through some sample code of configuration for impersonating user and noticed that SwitchUserFilter is used for this implementation. How to implement impersonate user using Spring SwitchUserFilter Filter and how does it works ? What is the internal flow of impersonating user ? In my application I am using spring security also. Can anyone please help me with simple description or any sample example to achieve this ? You first need to create an instance of SwitchUserFilter , like this: @Bean public SwitchUserFilter switchUserFilter

Best practices dictate using the LOGON32_LOGON_NEW_CREDENTIALS logon type (see the Windows API LogonUser

These two APIs are very similar but it is unclear what the differences are and when each should be used (Except that LoadUserProfile is specified for use with CreateProcessAsUser which I am not using.

LoadUserProfile http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb762281(VS.85).aspx RegOpenCurrentUser http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724894(VS.85).aspx According to the Services & the Registry article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms685145(VS.85).aspx we should use RegOpenCurrentUser when impersonating.
