Dropdown Field in menu bar to login to specific assed

Hi,
I am looking around to extend the SESSION vars of the login uses by an asset.
Purpose:

A factory where user logs into a certain production line, if his group membership allows.

Therefore I have a non-login dashboard as landing page and the login form switched to embedded (into menu)

left of username password and login button it would be nice to have a dropdown field for selecting LINE1,LINE2....
I have looked around but could not find anything I can use here...

I am using very last 10.3 build on X64
Any ideas how to implement this?
Kind greetings,

ckranich

looks as if $_SESSION is no longer supported since 9.7

allthough there is an example in the manual
function AfterSuccessfulLogin($username, $password, $data)

{

$_SESSION["FirstName"] = $data["FirstName"];

}
but on other chapter it says:
Replaced

Starting with PHPRunner version 9.7, session variables were replaced with the functionality available via Security API and Search API.

The only exception is the language variable.

$_SESSION variables are working just fine (10.3 version)

In the meantime found out that
AddFields in Designer (for Login Form, if Login Form Mode is form) works for fields from the password table.
So I added a field "PLINE" with a lookup value from a table with the production lines.
Unfortunately ALL fields from the Login Form MUST MATCH their fields in the password table....

(I am currently peeking into security.php, but cannot spot where this behaviour is sourced..)

At least I found an announcement of this behaviour
