Hi guys,
security.ExtranetLogin method seems to be removed in version 9.3.5. What is the replacement method?
We are trying to upgrade a client solution where it is used in the context below: 

// Workaround for programmatic logins with hashed passwords setting in DW, read more on https://doc.dynamicweb.com/forum/development/development/authenticate-user-through-api
                var originalPasswordStringFromDatabase = loginUser.Password;
                loginUser.Password = "TempPassword";
                loginUser.Save();

                security.ExtranetLogin(loginUser.UserName, "TempPassword", true);

                loginUser.Password = originalPasswordStringFromDatabase;
                loginUser.Save();

Hi Peter,

Try Frontend.LoginHandler's ExtranetLogOn method. We're done some cleanup of naming for "log on" (action that authenticates the user) and "login" (user id), so things might have been moved arround a bit.

Let me know how this works out.

LoginHandler is now obsolete as well. What's the new alternative?

It seems to have gone here:

new LogOnHandler().LogOn(userName, password);

Can the password be the encrypted version?
I can't seem to get logged on ... and of course I do not have plain passwords to use ...

Hi Peter

You cannot logon a user with that method without the password.

You can use a token may:

loginToken = LogOnHandler.GetLoginToken(username, encryptedPassword)
LogOnHandler.ExtranetLoginToken(username, loginToken) 'This is not public!!

But you can use a querystring:

?Username={username}&pwtoken={token}

I just updated the API so that you get a method to call: LogOnHandler.LogOnWithToken

Hi Nicolai, thnx for your quick response.
I updates all my nupkegs (took me a while) but the method LogOnWithToken did not appear.
What can I do?

Well, I just made the commit, so it will not be released until QA verifies and release it. Next version of the Dynamicweb package will have the feature. TFS#52147

Thanks Nicolai.
Will the LogOnWithToken method take the user active state in consideration?
The normal logon has an activeOnly boolean which in my case I want to be true.
