Freshly created and active user, after redirection to user cabinet logged out instantly:

 $this->_session = Mage::getSingleton('customer/session'); $session = $this->_session; $customer = Mage::getModel('customer/customer')->setEmail($email) ->save(); // ^^^ successfully saves the customer entity $session->setCustomerAsLoggedIn($customer); // autoconfirm user if($customer->getConfirmation()!=null){ $customer->setConfirmation(null); } if($session->isLoggedIn()) { Mage::app()->getFrontController()->getResponse()->setRedirect(Mage::getBaseUrl().'customer/account/'); return; }

it successfully redirects and shows the user cabinet and 'Log out' link is active, but if I open the magento front page in other tab of same browser it becomes clearly that customer is not logged in. Where to debug ? Thanks!

UPDATE

I am trying to login freshly created customer without password. Password attribute set to 'required'=>false in customer entity, via install script.

UPDATE 2

I was also forgot to $customer->save(); after $customer->setConfirmation(null); it is mandatory

  • I assume this is a snippet and that $session is set using $session = Mage::getSingleton( 'customer/session' ); ? Commented Nov 11, 2015 at 2:02

The actual customer login works similarly to your code but that function sets the website ID, make sure you are doing this. 

$customer = Mage::getModel('customer/customer') ->setWebsiteId(Mage::app()->getStore()->getWebsiteId())->setEmail($email)->save(); $session->setCustomerAsLoggedIn($customer);

  • may i ask you if $session->login() method is necessary for user to set logged in? thanks! Commented Nov 11, 2015 at 2:29
  • That's the way I have seen it in the past. However, if you look at the login function, it is doing something very similar to what you are doing. I did notice one difference. I update my answer to that difference. Commented Nov 11, 2015 at 2:39

In System > Configuration > General > Web > Session Cookie Management set Cookie Path as /

This makes your script and magento use same frontend cookie.
