public class User extends GeneratedUser
Superclass of all hybris platform user types.

A user always is identified by a login - password - pair, owns a name and an affiliate id , may belong to user groups.

As a subclass of principal each user can be assigned permissions. Additionally permissions can be assigned to user groups which makes user right management easier. 

   If you like to login a user you have to different ways. The first one is to transfer the session, the second one is to create a new session for the user. The example assumes you are working in a jsp.
 <code>
 String login   = request.getParameter( "login" );
                                                                                                                                        String  passwd  = request.getParameter( "password" );     //you may encrypt the password by using ssl. However the password will be delivered in plain text. Properties props = new Properties(); //a HashMap is fine as well prop.put( JaloSession.LoginProperties.LOGIN, login ); prop.put( JaloSession.LoginProperties.PASSWORD, passwd ); prop.put( JaloSession.LoginProperties.SESSION_TYPE, JaloSession.LoginProperties.SessionTypes.CUSTOMER ); getJaloSession().getConnection().transferSession( getJaloSession(), prop ); // transfer the current session to the given user. getJaloSession().getConnection().createSession(prop); //creates a new session for the given user.
 </code>
