title: Jasper token based authentication with internal users
body: <p>I have a jasper server 6.3 commercial version. I have created set of users in jasper. Also I have a an application where the same users will be authenticated and have the auth token. I need to pass the token with the request to jasper and login by that user. without getting the login screen,</p>
  
  <p>I read the <a href="http://community.jaspersoft.com/documentation/jasperreports-authentication-cookbook/v56/token-based-authentication#Mapping2" rel="nofollow noreferrer">token based authentication cookbook</a> and it only covers the authentication with external users who are not previously created in jasper. </p>
  
  <p>I thought of putting a custom authentication provider for this. would that be a good option ?</p>
  
  <p>Please help.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.
  Thusira. </p>
