Backoffice User authentication

Hi

Is it possible to login to the backoffice as another user?

I want to use the login info from my external system to login to the umbraco backend as a different user that exists in the umbraco backend.

E.g.

  • Username “JohnDoe” in my external system logs in.

  • in my custom membershipprovider I validate the credentials and returns true

  • I would now like to let “JohnDoe” login as an existing Umbraco backoffice user e.g. “Supporter” … but how?

The validation part works but how do I change the authentication part so that “Supporter” gets authenticated instead of “JohnDoe”?

Thanks
