I'm interested in that type of functionality - the ability to create a ticket for a particular user (we may not have the password). For example a user may login to a portal or other app via SSO (e.g. Kerberos). We then want to perform an action as the authenticated user against a CMIS enabled repository. I deally we could connect to the CMIS repository as an admin, get a ticket for a user then use that in subsequent requests. Alfresco's CMIS implementation supports use of native login tickets & I think that Documentum may do as well (not 100% sure of this). It's a shame that the CMIS standard doesn't cover this.
