i don't know if there is way to do this through settings but i
invented my own method to log in a user after verification. the user
has registered and thus has a row in auth_user.
in the model:
auth.settings.registration_requires_verification = True
auth.settings.verify_email_next = '/init/default/verifiedPage'
auth.settings.verify_email_onaccept = lambda form: __afterVerify(form)
def __afterVerify(form):
# find the user and log him/her in
user = db.auth_user[form.id]
__logInUser(user)
# separated this function in case it could be useful elsewhere
def __logInUser(user):
from gluon.storage import Storage
session.auth = Storage(user=user, last_visit=request.now,
expiration=auth.settings.expiration)
