<br>
I know no possibility to log in somebody programatically without
knowing their password. There are only a few exceptions where this
is possible (export user, guest user) but I don't think that the
API can do this for normal workplace users. You may have to hunt
through the source code of CmsObject.loginUser(...) to see if
there is any way around this limitation but I could well imagine
that it is not possible to do password-less login with a
reasonable amount of work. Maybe I am wrong though - I never had a
need to dig into the source code for this.<br>
<br>
The passwords are hashed before they are stored in the opencms
database. This is a good thing but it will prevent your
application from knowing these passwords. So if anything you have
to hunt for a way to get the user logged in without password.<br>
<br>
<br>
Good luck!<br>

<div>I'm trying to develope a "remember me" functionality to
OpenCms based on cookies and the best practices described

<div>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 </div>
<div>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?</div>
