Have a look in your installed documentation at:

/alkacon-documentation/javadoc/core/org/opencms/file/CmsObject.html

--------
public final class CmsObject
extends java.lang.Object
This pivotal class provides all authorized access to the OpenCms VFS  
resources.

It encapsulates user identification and permissions. Think of it as  
an initialized "shell" to access the OpenCms VFS. Every call to a  
method here will be checked for user permissions according to the  
CmsRequestContext this CmsObject instance was created with.

 From a JSP page running in OpenCms, use CmsJspBean.getCmsObject() to  
gain access to the current users CmsObject. Usually this is done with  
a CmsJspActionElement.

To generate a new instance of this class in your application, use  
OpenCms.initCmsObject(String). The argument String should be the name  
of the guest user, usually "Guest" and more formally obtained by  
CmsDefaultUsers.getUserGuest(). This will give you an initialized  
context with guest user permissions. Then use loginUser(String,  
String) to log in the user you want. Obviously you need the password  
for the new user. You should never try to create an instance of this  
class using the constructor, this is reserved for internal operation  
only.

----------

I've used this before to do a login and then redirect to a non- 
workplace page.
