Member	mickey-invision - 1/8/2010 4:07:30 PM Logging in a user How do I programmatically login a user to the site? I know I can Authenticate the user, but how do I set the proper cookie so the user is actually logged in to the site?

If you're an administrator of this site, please go to Site Manager -> Licenses and use the following domain name to add valid license: prasad

RE:Logging in a user

Hi,

Which systems you mean? What is the domain name when accessing the CMS or the web site? What errors are you getting?

You need to have license key for each and every domain name and IP address, under which you want to run the web site. And also, you need to add appropriate domain aliases and assign them to your web site.

Best Regards,

Member	byron-falcon-software - 3/18/2010 11:52:05 AM RE:Logging in a user You might be looking for this. This works for me and Forms Authentication. CMS.SiteProvider.UserInfo user = CMS.SiteProvider.UserInfoProvider.AuthenticateUser(username, password, CMS.CMSHelper.CMSContext.CurrentSite, true); if (user != null) { System.Web.Security.FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(user.UserName, false); }
