Windows7 Credential Provider for automatic user logon to hardware event

Question

I am developing my own credential provider for Windows 7. My goal is to automatically register a user when a specific hardware event occurs. I read all the MSDN articles related to this and implemented a simple credential provider that interacts with an external device to get a username and password and passes it to WinLogon.

But I'm still stuck with the last part of the puzzle. Currently, the user still needs to press the login button to log in. What is the best way to do this automatically?
