In a situation, where the user is authenticated on another application (like oAuth or a custom security implementation), how can we simulate login?
What we intend to achieve is: - use the user identifier key to check if the user exists - if the user exists, set-up the session for the user - basically, setup the attribute holder - assign the user object, so that it is available thru getUser() method So we are looking at signing-in programatically!
Any light on how do it in the simplest way?
