Manual Login
Development and Programming
Has anyone found a way to manually log a user based on their own log-in method?
I am looking to implement Gigya into the login process in EE and have not found anyone who has had luck with this as of yet.
I am trying to avoid “faking” a login by manipulating sessions/cookies but I will not be provided a username/password. Only a successful authentication from Gigya and a unique ID that will be tied to their EE account. I thought there could be an easy solution for this but no luck so far without editing any core EE files.
Thanks for any help.

All you really need is a member’s member_id. So store the Gigya unique id in a custom member field or somewhere else that can be associated with a member. Then use it to retrieve a member’s member_id and you should be good to go.
Amazing, exactly what I need. Thanks so much!
