Thanks Cash for your immediate response. Could you please refer me anything that (or any code) I can use to "log the user in programmatically to the Elgg site"?

I am trying using register_pam_handler to authenticate but since I am using XML-RPC , I am regsitering two handlers register_xmlrpc_handler and other register_pam_handler . I am getting the data from register_xmlrpc_handler method and manually trying to pass the credentials to register_pam_handlerhandler . But not sure this is the way I have to do and any way not woring :( . Tried from http://docs.elgg.org/wiki/Engine/Authentication

any ideas on authenticating user using XML-RPC?

I think too much and that eats my lot of time .

I made profile settings update working . here is the code I used

$user_object = authenticate('Myuserid','mypassword');
 $result = login($user_object, true);
$user_modify=get_loggedin_user();
$user_modify->name='new name'
$user_modify->save();

Never thought so simple :)

But again for metadata update i got struck

using update_metadata method to update the metadata but some how still not working .

I just user this command

 update_metadata ($user_modify->guid, 'Interests', 'Dancing', '', 0, ACCESS_PUBLIC);

am I doing some thing wrong ?

Thanks for your help
