Authenticate user after registration (without login)

[Arthur Erdös]

Hello all,

does anybody (Scott? ^^) have any example for such an implementation and
the steps needed to achieve this? If anybody could help me implementing
this I would be pleased to summarize the steps for the CAS WIKI.

I think it would be a good addition to the CAS documentation... ;)

Thx in advance!

Arthur
