Auto-login user programatically?

[Byte Flinger]

Well maybe I am making things more confusing than it should. The idea is
that I'd like to perform an idp initiated login and right it seems that
this is done through the unsolicited sso profile which seems to be mapped
to the UsernamePassword login handler (as it takes me to the login page).
Unfortunately it seems UsernamePassword login handler does not suit me (I
may need to log the user in a different way) and I'd like to use my own
login handler however I am uncertain if it is possible to use the
UnsolicitedSSO profile handler with a custom login handler and if so how to
do it as the only mention of customisation on the idp initiated wiki page
is the MessageDecoder (Which at a quick glance does not seem to be what I
am looking for).

Does that make things a bit clearer?
