I have tried every reasonable hook for an automatic login of an externally authenticated user and they all either crash the system or fall into a login_redirect loop.
Global_complete worked under 3.8 but I have not been able to get this to work at all under V4+.
The desired behavior is that when someone navigates to the site (by any means) their authentication cooky is seen and then validated to be still active by the foreign authentication server and then they are logged in without needing to click on any buttons or links.
I have been working on this for over 6 months now off and on.

And finally this afternoon, I noticed that bbsessionshash was now bb_sessionhash. Did I edit the prefix when I installed v4 or did vB contribute the underscore.
