How to force login with sfGuard?

Does anyone have any of how to force a login action with sfGuard th开发者_运维问答rough code? Something like: $this->authenticate('username'); ?

Thanks in advance.

I think it was:

$user = // sfGuardUser object
$user_id = $user->getId();

$this->getUser()->signIn($user_id, true);

... with the second parameter being true/false for "remember me".

See the signIn function in the sfGuardSecurityUser.class.php inside the Plugin lib/user/ to see how it works.
