Hello. Is there a way to perform a "system.security.switchUser" against a specific "user source" ? I have 2 users sources labeled "UserSource1" and "UserSource2" In some situations I want the operator to login by supplying their user/pass, and when I perform the "system.security.switchUser" I want to perform it against "UserSource2" I do not want to setup "soft" failover. I want to programmatically dictate the "UserSource". Thanks. Yiotis. ---

You cannot. You will need two separate projects. ---
