[opencms-dev] Logout without invalidating session

[Jonathan Woods]

Would it be any use for you instead to setCurrentProject() to the online
project?  This would leave the user logged in, but they'd be seeing what
ordinary punters see (unless your JSPs behave otherwise).

Subject: [opencms-dev] Logout without invalidating session


Hi,
     I'm trying to implement a logout without using the
CmsJspLoginBean.logout(), because it invalidates the entire session and I
don't want it.
I read in another post in this forum that this can be accomplished with:

	String guestUser = OpenCms.getDefaultUsers().getUserGuest();
	cms.getCmsObject().loginUser(guestUser, "Guest");

Note that I canged the Guest password to "Guest" as because opencms 6.2.2
does not accept an empty password (I checked the source code) and throws an
exception.

The problem is that this method works only for the lifecycle of the jsp page
where this snippet is invoked.
When I switch to another page it seems to retain the old login. 

Anyone had the same problem? 
More generally, had anyone solved the problem of logging out without
invalidating the session?

Regards
