[Building Sakai] Login in to Sakai via code

[David Horwitz]

Hi All,

I'm working on a RSF tool to validate new guest accounts. The user will
receive a token and and go to the tool to validate the account. At the
end of the workflow they should be logged into the sakai portal. Now
looking at the code in login tool I have the following which looks like
it should work but leaves the user on the portal, unauthenticated:


//log the user in
            Evidence e = new IdPwEvidence(vc.getUserEid(),
vc.getPassword1());
            try {
                Authentication a = authenticationManager.authenticate(e);
                log.info("authenticated " + a.getEid() + "(" +
a.getUid() + ")");
                log.info("reg: " + httpServletRequest.getRemoteAddr());
                log.info("user agent: " +
httpServletRequest.getHeader("user-agent"));
                if (usageSessionService.login(a, httpServletRequest)) {
                    log.info("logged in!");
                }
               
               
                return "success";
            } catch (AuthenticationException e1) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e1.printStackTrace();
            }


any ideas?

Thanks

David
