[opencms-dev] Creating web user in OC 9

Hello,

thanks a lot, Filip and Stephan. Quite easy and logical, I just still do 
not get why organisation units are there and why they offer such web 
user setting, a bit misleading for me novice.

But there still is problem left. After login a message "your session 
expired. please login again." (or alike) appears. Menu in background 
indicates that page is rendered with user logged in. Also "logout" 
button is shown instead of form. Now clicking on some restricted menu 
item opens modal server login form. Logging in there for the second time 
finally gives access to the restricted pages.

My login form is completely based on the one from bootstrap demo.

Regards,
Thorsten
