[opencms-dev] Web User Authentication Failing

[Millo Magnocavallo]

Don't worry, have this sorted now.

Was testing this on the same browser that I was running the opencms
system and I was already logged in as Admin.

When I tried on opera which wasn't logged into opencms (and therefore
capable of being considered a web user) then it worked.

something to watch out for.
