The function records a watchdog message about the new session, saves the login timestamp, calls hook_user op 'login' and generates a new session.

$param $edit This array is passed to hook_user op login.

Code

modules/user/user.module, line 1397

<?php
function user_authenticate_finalize(&$edit) {
  global $user;
  watchdog('user', 'Session opened for %name.', array('%name' => $user->name));
  // Update the user table timestamp noting user has logged in.
  // This is also used to invalidate one-time login links.
  $user->login = time();
  db_query("UPDATE {users} SET login = %d WHERE uid = %d", $user->login, $user->uid);

  // Regenerate the session ID to prevent against session fixation attacks.
  sess_regenerate();
  user_module_invoke('login', $edit, $user);
