Programmtic login - from either a custom activity space or LoginAction PEI

Question

I know how to programmatically logout using:<br>
Redirect redirect = null;<br>
redirect.SetLinkCreateNewSpace(LoginAS.STR_MVC_CLASS_NAME, null);<br>
redirect.SetControl(LoginControl.STR_MVC_CLASS_NAME);<br>
redirect.AddControlArgument(LoginHelper.PARAM_DOLOGOUT, true);<br>
redirect.AddControlArgument(ASConstants.CLEARSESSION, "true");<br>
return redirect;<br><br>
I got that code from right here in the forums - thanks.<br>
However, I need a snippet that will programatically login and return a Redirect now, too. Does anyone have a snippet that will do that?<br><br>
p.s. I'll be putting it into a LoginActions PEI in the OnFailedLoginDoRedirect(). In our use case, if someone tries to login and it fails, I'll be checking a custom sql table that maps old bad logins to new good ones and attempts programmatic re-login with the retrieved/mapped credentials.<br><br>
p.p.s I'll have all 3 items in my pocket - userId, username, and password - if that makes a difference in the possible solution that gets posted here. I could also get a login token for the mapped user if that's necessary, too. So I can get 4 things to help w/ the programmatic login.<br><br>
Thanks in advance.

LMah gets full credit for this answer (just mimic the login form!):<br><br>
Redirect redirect = new Redirect();<br>
redirect.SetLinkCreateNewSpace(LoginAS.STR_MVC_CLASS_NAME, null);<br>
          redirect.AddControlArgument("in_hi_space", "login");<br>
          redirect.AddControlArgument("in_hi_spaceID", 0);<br>
          redirect.SetControl(LoginControl.STR_MVC_CLASS_NAME);<br>
          redirect.AddControlArgument("in_hi_dologin", true);<br>
          redirect.AddControlArgument("in_tx_username", "administrator");<br>
          redirect.AddControlArgument("in_pw_userpass", "");<br>
          redirect.AddControlArgument("in_se_authsource", "");<br>
          return redirect;<br>
<br>If you'd like to use api constants instead of hard coding the input values, you can always do something like this:<br>
redirect.AddControlArgument(LoginHTML.PARAM_USERPASS, "");
