[opencms-dev] How to login user

[Antonio Cordeddu]

Hi Jakub,

I was struggling in the same problem.
You can use the method  switchUser(CmsObject cms, HttpServletRequest 
req, CmsUser user) on CmsSessionManager (but the user must be a 
Workplace user).

Otherwise you can set userid and password in a session variable, get the 
values from the session and then use the loginUser method.
I hope this is useful for you.
Kind regards

Antonio Cordeddu
