Answer 1

Try code from this answer. In your case firewall name is secured_area:

// your controller action
public function myAction()
{

    // Authenticating user
    $token = new UsernamePasswordToken($user, null, 'secured_area', $user->getRoles());
    $this->get('security.token_storage')->setToken($token);
    //For Symfony <= 2.3
    //$this->get('security.context')->setToken($token);
    $this->get('session')->set('_security_secured_area', serialize($token));

}

Answer 2

Verify that you have configured encoders section in security.yml, as configuration there has changed not very long time ago and it affects your problem.
