[TYPO3-dev] Register/User Login via REST

[Johannes Mueller]

Hi,
I finally found the time to test the REST suggestion by fabien. Worked like
a charm with 7.2
I can access my repos and fe repos just the way I need too. The yaml
approach makes the route handling quite easy. Only PUT and DELETE are
missing, but one can workaround that... But I stumbled upon the
programmatic user registration process and am not sure, if my approach
could work.
Are there any snippets or examples (besides the api) that clarify:
1) The programmatic user creation process?
2) The programmatic user auth/login process?
3) Is FrontendUserRepository->add() all I have to care about for
registration?

The web lacks of examples or I'm to blind to get'em :/

Thanks!

J. M.
