Can I jump in and ask a related question? I have a very similar problem, and 
are also trying to use MgnlContext.login. However, I have an external system to 
authenticate me and just want Magnolia to accept me and to set the correct 
roles for me. I have code looking like this in my own LoginHandler (simplified 
to always login as "olamon" with role "superuser"):

                Map<String, String> properties = new HashMap<String, String>();
                properties.put( "name",     "olamon" );
                properties.put( "fullName", "Olas full name" );
                properties.put( "email",    "[email protected]" );
                properties.put( "language", "en" );

                RoleList roleList = new RoleListImpl();
                roleList.add( "superuser" );

                GroupList groupList = new GroupListImpl();

                User user = new ExternalUserManager().getUser( properties, 
groupList, roleList );

                PrincipalCollection aclList = new PrincipalCollectionImpl();
                aclList.setName( "PrincipalCollection" );
                RoleManager rm = new MgnlRoleManager();
                Map<String, ACL> acls = rm.getACLs( "superuser" );
                for (Entry<String, ACL> acl : acls.entrySet()) {
                        aclList.add( acl.getValue() );
                }

                Subject subject = new Subject();
                subject.getPrincipals().add( user );
                subject.getPrincipals().add( roleList );
                subject.getPrincipals().add( groupList );
                subject.getPrincipals().add( aclList );

                MgnlContext.login( subject );
                return new LoginResult( LoginResult.STATUS_SUCCEEDED, subject );

But gets basically the same result. The user is logged in, but the user don't 
seem to have any privileges at all.

Any idea what can be wrong?
