One way might be to go through the login URL

This is URL is something like:

http://host/daisy/login

(possibly without the /daisy)

You need to do a HTTP POST to this URL with the following parameters:

action=login
username=...
password=...
returnTo=...

The returnTo parameter contains the URL to which to redirect after
login, thus something like:

/daisy/sitename/document-id.html

If you want more customized behaviour then this, you can develop a wiki
extension.
