Zend Create User and Automatically Sign them in - zend-framework

Question

I have search and search but no answer I am using Zend Framework to create a user and on success store the record in zend auth so they are automatically logged in.
I have the create user working perfect but after the success I need to start the _getAuthAdpater() and sign the user in.
I have implemented the below code but it will not store the users data in the session. Here is my function.
public function registerAction()
$proUser = new Application_Model_DbTable_ProUser;
$userId = $proUser->addProUser($data['email'], $data['name'], $data['password']);if($userId){
// add new row into proBasic
$proBasic = new Application_Model_DbTable_proBasic;
$proBasic->addProBasic($userId);
// add new row into proService
$proService = new Application_Model_DbTable_proService;
$proService->addProService($userId);
// Create auth session for proUser
$adapter = $this->_getAuthAdapter();
$adapter->setIdentity($data['email']);
$adapter->setCredential($data['password']);
$auth = Zend_Auth::getInstance();
$result = $auth->authenticate($adapter);
if ($result->isValid()) {
$user = $adapter->getResultRowObject(array(
'proId',
'proName',
'proEmail',
));
$auth->getStorage()->write($user);
return true;
}
return $this->_redirect('/auth/probasic/');
}
Here is the _getAuthAdapter() function:
private function _getAuthAdapter()
{
$authAdapter = new Zend_Auth_Adapter_DbTable(Zend_Db_Table::getDefaultAdapter());
$authAdapter->setTableName('proUser')
->setIdentityColumn('proEmail')
->setCredentialColumn('proPassword');
return $authAdapter;
}
I am getting no errors for this code but it isnt store the users details in the Auth. I have found 100's of example of how to create a login/sign up system in Zend and none of them automatically login the user, so I am wondering if I am trying to do something different.
Cheers

You don't really need to authenticate them if you're creating the session immediately after registration. What happens if you replace all your code after $proService->addProService($userId) with just this:
$auth = Zend_Auth::getInstance();
$auth->getStorage()->write($data['email']);
