It's a hack but it works... in a way. If you are using DBIx::Class, you
can load the user record:
my $user = $c->model('YourUserModel')->find(userid);
$c->session->{__user} = { $user->get_columns };
As far as C::P::Authentication is concerned, the user is now
authenticated. Forgot whether the key is __user or __user__ but just
warn Dumper($c->session) at some point to see what it's supposed to be.
Warning: I use this myself, it seems to work, but it's a hack. YMMV.
Standard disclaimer applies.

Hello
When a user lost his password I send a digest by email.
If he enters this digest I want to automatically authenticate the user
so he can edit his password.
I only found this method but it says in the docs you shouldn't use it
in your code as it is an internal function only.
$c->set_authenticated( $user, $realmname )
Any other way to force user authentication?
thanks
