Login after successful signup Ember-Simple-Auth

Question

I have set up a auto-authenticate for user after signup:

app/libs/auto-authenticate.js

export default Ember.SimpleAuth.Authenticators.OAuth2.extend({                  
   authenticate: function(credentials) {                                                        
     if(!Ember.isEmpty(credentials.access_token)) {                               
       return Ember.RSVP.resolve(credentials);                                                  
     } else {                                                                                   
       return this._super(credentials);                                                         
     }                                                                                          
   }                                                                                            
}); 

app/app.js

import AutoAuthenticate from 'appkit/libs/auto-authenticate';
App.initializer({                                                                              
    name: 'auto',                                                                                
    initialize: function(container, application) {                                               
      container.register('app:authenticators:custom', AutoAuthenticator);         
      Ember.SimpleAuth.setup(container, application);                                            
    }                                                                             
 });

app/controllers/register.js

  export default Ember.ObjectController.extend({
    firstname: '',                                                                
    lastname: '',                                                                                
    username: '',                                                                                
    password: '',                                                                                                                                                                             
    actions: {                                                                                   
      registerUser: function(){                                                                  
        var self = this;                                                                         
        var user = this.store.createRecord('user', {                                             
          first_name: this.get('firstname'),                                       
          last_name: this.get('lastname'),                                                       
          username: this.get('username')                                                         
        });
        user.set('typedPass', this.get('password'));                                             
        user.save().then(function(){                                                             
          //How can I login this user using ember-simple-auth ?? 
        });                                                                       
      }                                                                                          
    }                                                                                            
 });

I have separate Login for users that will provide their username and password.

What I want to do is , when a new user signs up in the website I want that user to logged in directly without going to the login page and providing its username/password ? As I am getting the username and password from the registration process, I dont want the user to go to another route and then login . How to call the custom authenticator to authenticate the current signed up user with its login credentials??

The best solution would probably to just reuse the username and password properties you already have in the registration controller:

export default Ember.ObjectController.extend({
  firstname: '',                                                                
  lastname: '',                                                                                
  username: '',                                                                                
  password: '',                                                                                                                                                                             
  actions: {                                                                                   
    registerUser: function(){                                                                  
      var self = this;                                                                         
      var user = this.store.createRecord('user', {                                             
        first_name: this.get('firstname'),                                       
        last_name: this.get('lastname'),                                                       
        username: this.get('username')                                                         
      });
      user.set('typedPass', this.get('password'));                                             
      user.save().then(function() {                                                             
        //this is basically what happens when you trigger the LoginControllerMixin's "authenticate" action
        this.get('session').authenticate('app:authenticators:custom', {
          identification: this.get('username'),
          password: this.get('password')
        });
      });                                                                       
    }                                                                                          
  }                                                                                            

});
