Authlogic::Session::UnauthorizedRecord

Allows you to create session with an object. Ex:

UserSession.create(my_user_object)

Be careful with this, because Authlogic is assuming that you have already confirmed that the user is who he says he is.

For example, this is the method used to persist the session internally. Authlogic finds the user with the persistence token. At this point we know the user is who he says he is, so Authlogic just creates a session with the record. This is particularly useful for 3rd party authentication methods, such as OpenID. Let that method verify the identity, once it's verified, pass the object and create a session.
