I'm doing the following now, have you tried it?
Inside the runmode I want the login to happen:
sub another_runmode {
...
$self->query->param( -name => 'auth_usr_uname', value => $uname);
$self->query->param( -name => 'auth_usr_passwd', value => $passwd);
$self->authen->initialize;
...
}
the idea is, set the query params that Authen is looking for and then
call authen->initialize in the runmode.
