Description
API to automatically log an user given its connection_id.
The connection_id can be retrieved from the RESTful API GET login/info. It's also possible to create a new connection given an user_id, using the RESTful API POST login/apps/:app_id/sign_ins, or given the credentials from any user's social network. See Social Login APIs.
A common use case for this API is when the user session (cookie) in the Social Login has been expired or erased and you want to log the user automatically given you already identified him before via traditional login, for example.
In case of success, this API will also trigger the save behavior of socialid.connectionStorage.
