title: Meteor Login User From Server
body: <p>I have a cross-site ajax login request coming from a chrome extension to a Meteor app. I am handling this on the Meteor side using Iron-Router and the <code>where:'server'</code> setting. The request comes in fine, but now that I have the request, I want to login the user. How do I do that from the server?</p>
  
  <p>I tried getting around it in a hacky way by redirecting from the server to another router using <code>Router.go('otherRoute', {email:requestEmail, password:requestPassword})</code> in the <code>action</code> callback but that didn't work because the go method wasn't found. Either way, that seems like a poor solution to this problem.</p>
