i have an app that sends username and password to a php script. This script checks that a user exists on Drupal 8 with username and password entered but does not log the user. I need the user to log in. Can someone help me? thanks
Follows script code

use DrupaluserUserAuthInterface;
use DrupalCoreDrupalKernel;
use SymfonyComponentHttpFoundationRequest;
// Boot Drupal.
$autoloader = require __DIR__ . '/autoload.php';

$request = Request::createFromGlobals();
$kernel = DrupalKernel::createFromRequest($request, $autoloader, 'prod', FALSE);
$kernel->boot();
// Recupero Nome utente e password
$nome_ut = $_POST('nome');
$pass_ut = $_POST('pwd');
// effettuo il controllo
$user_auth = Drupal::service('user.auth');
$user_storage = Drupal::entityTypeManager()->getStorage('user');

$accounts = $user_storage->loadByProperties(('name' => $nome_ut, 'status' => 1));
$account = reset($accounts);

if ($account) {
    if ($user_auth->authenticate($nome_ut, $pass_ut))
       {
    // The credentials are correct.
       $id = $user_auth->authenticate($nome_ut, $pass_ut);
       print ("Accesso riuscito!");
           // Force session start if we don't already have a session.
               $session = Drupal::service('session');
               if (!$session->isStarted()) {
               $session->migrate();
           }
           if (Drupal::currentUser()->isAuthenticated()) {
               // This user is logged in.
               print ("Utente Loggato");
           } else {
               // This user is not logged in.
               print ("Utente non Loggato");
           }
           
       }
}

Could you use a rest endpoint? Because this is already handled by drupal core. See for example this or this

Otherwise I think you’re just missing user_login_finalize after your check if the user is logged in.

user_login_finalize($user);
//Eventually redirect the user somewhere
$user_destination = Drupal::destination()->get();
$response = new RedirectResponse($user_destination);
$response->send();
