Hey,

i created a user authentication system with authlogic, everytime a  
user registers, the user is created, AND the user\_session is  
automatically started, and the new user is considered logged in. Is it  
possible to not have the user automatically logged in? but i want the  
created user, just not for him to be logged in right after  
registering. Not sure if its possible.

Thanks guys

Hi,  
In registration method it’s default set the registering user to  
session when you implement authentication plugin. if you disable that  
functionality in register/signup method of authentication than it solve  
your problem.
