Programmatically login a user to crowd console

[Mario Anstoots]

Hello,

I am writing a plugin for Crowd and want to add my own authentication.

So i want to use authenticateWithoutPassword or something like this.

I tried using the TokenAuthentionManager to create a token and put it as a cookie (crowd.token_key) to the response and redirect to the console.action, but that is not enough, so far.

How am I able to tell the Crowd console to set a user (authenticated before by another process) as the loggedin user?

Hi @Mario Anstoots 

You should use the session resource of Crowd REST API: https://docs.atlassian.com/atlassian-crowd/3.3.0/REST/#usermanagement/1/session-authenticateUser
