[opencms-dev] opencms6 - logging in a webuser

[bart vandendriessche]

Just tried changing the user_type to 2 but the same problem persists 
(get popup requesting for opencms authentication). Tried using 
cmso#loginUser(String, String) but still the same issue. Thanks for the 
suggestions though, I will do some more digging.
