Hi, we have a situation where we want to manage observer user accounts (username/password) and automatically log the user in from a different website. We tried utilizing the login2 command, but it isn't keeping the session.
So what we are looking for is to log the user in through JSON/XML command, then go to the domain for the user.
Is this possible?
The reason why logging the user in doesn't work seamlessly in your case is because we do not use cookie-based authentication. Instead, the authentication token is good for that particular session. As an alternative, you could use a formal SSO standard (CAS, SAML) or Buzz's token-based authentication. The latter involves logging the user in the third-party app (e.g., Login2) and passing the `token` from the response to Buzz.
For example, if the Login2 response returned a `token` with a value of `~123456abcdefgh`, and your Buzz URL was myschool123.agilixbuzz.com, then your link (or launch URL) should be:

Replace the subdomain with your userspace and the `token` value with your authentication token.
Does that make sense?
Brad!
You just saved the day! That worked flawlessly!
