hi,
 thank you for the answer, but how *could* those two lines look like if we get the
username from the request and combine it with a given password?
 the authenticate method which takes username, password and context as parameter
doesn't seem to do what i expect.

  Hi,
 You'll find some info here
 
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Authentication+and+Rights+Ma…
 The authentication service probably needs to be written to handle the
 specificities of your system.
 If you already have information in your request or somewhere you might
 just need to write one or two lines in your authentication service.

  Hello,
 We're currently working on integrating xwiki in an educational
        
 plattform. That means, we need to provide an xwiki-page for each course. We
have
 retty much all methods laid out and most of it working, the only thing we are
 still not sure about handling is the automatic login, before a user gets to
 see a specific xwiki-page. Adding users, groups and setting the
 permissions (in the xwiki) is all dealt with already - the only thing that is missing
 is the automatic login.
  Is this possible with the existing methods or do
we have to write our
        
 own authentication-service? If so, is there sample code or anything you
 could point us to how to proceed?
  An option we were contemplating was, posting the
login data to the
        
 actual xwiki login form in the background (similar to what the curl-library
 provides in php), but this might just be unnecessary, if there is a certain
 existing method we can utilize for that.
  Thanks a lot for your help in advance!
 Florian
