[opencms-dev] opencms6 - logging in a webuser

[bart vandendriessche]

Ok, I haven't found what was causing my problem, but I just copy pasted 
the source from 
/system/modules/org.opencms.welcome/elements/login_element.jsp (which I 
based my initial code on) and that works fine when I'm not logged into 
opencms (which is the desired behaviour). Seems like its not possible to 
log in as a opencms user when you're logged in as a guest user though, 
but fortunately thats not a real issue for me.
