Robin,
I’m storing get_user_by() data in the $user_data variable, and after the wp_signon() is verified is when I call wp_set_auth_cookie($user_data->ID);. The ID is part of the get_user_by() array.
Hope this helps, if so let me know.

Apparently the wp_set_auth_cookie() function is all that’s required. I placed this into my log in script, and it’s now seamless between log in and admin dashboard.
wp_set_auth_cookie($user_data->ID);
