Login user in code

I'm creating a custom login method and trying to login user with code:

// querying the user

User user = Dynamicweb.Security.UserManagement.User.GetUserBySql("SELECT * FROM AccessUser where AccessUserExternalId = '3005013299'");

is there any way i can use this User object to log the user in? like using something like Dynamicweb.Frontend.LogOnHandler?

I´m using DW 9.4

Currently it is not possible to login users using the API without the username and password directly - or just a user object (for security reasons)

Let me hear if that can be used.

Forgot:

You can actually Logon the user like this:

Dynamicweb.Frontend.LogOnHandler.LogOnWithToken(User.Username, Dynamicweb.Frontend.LoginHandler.GetLoginToken(User.Username, User.Password)

I can´t find the LogOnWithToken function, i get the error:

'LogOnHandler' does not contain a definition for 'LogOnWithToken'

but i was able to get it working by using this code :)

string userToken = Dynamicweb.Frontend.LogOnHandler.GetLoginToken(user.UserName, user.Password);

return Redirect("/?username=" + user.UserName + "&PwToken=" + userToken);

Just checked - LogOnWithToken is available in 9.4.17 - and it is not static, so you need to create an instance of LogOnHandler

Sorry - hope this clarifies!

And if you use the redirect, remember to urlencode username and password so it will work for all characters.
