Is there a way to set authentication cookie in Sitefinity without authenticating user in Sitefinity? Event custom membership provider does not suits me well. I saw there was a method in earlier versions of Sitefinity. I'm using Sitefinity 8.

Thanks for any help!

I would like to know as well. I think I know what Vlad is trying to do and I can't figure out how to do it. I've spend days on this.

Hi Vladimir, Joe,

You can try logging the user through code instead:
http://docs.sitefinity.com/for-developers-authenticate-users

or just by user name:

UserLoggingReason result = SecurityManager.AuthenticateUser(null, "username", false, out user);

Hi Svetoslav,

Thanks a lot for the reply!

This scenario does NOT work for me(I've tried earlier), just because Sitefinity tries to get the user from my custom membership provider BY NAME. My custom membership provider(against API) does not support getting user by username(I should also provider an auth token supplied earlier). And I don't need the user OUT.

Any other ideas how I could achieve that?
