[opencms-dev] How to login user

[Christian Steinert]

Just one thought: the opencms workplace has a "Switch User" function that allows an administrator to use the workplace as another user. You can look at the source code how this function is implemented. Maybe you will find what you are looking for in the code behing that function.

All the best!

> Hi,
> I'm trying to develope a "remember me" functionality to OpenCms based on cookies and the best practices described here http://jaspan.com/improved_persistent_login_cookie_best_practice. 
> Only problem that I have is that I don't know how to login user programatically after it was verified that his cookie is valid. I know that there is method 
> loginUser(java.lang.String username, java.lang.String password) on CmsObject. But this requires knowledge of user's password and I don't want to store user's password in the cookie for security reasons, not even if it was hashed. Is there any other way how to login user programatically? Or has anybody tried to create this functionality in the OpenCms?
