No, the authenticate function is used for username/password based authentication - and that's all the function is provided.

Can you explain why you want to access the cookie as part of your authentication? There may be more suitable alternatives available.

by fetching cookie or token, I want to verify if my user has read or write permission. basically this need to be done without any login. if not authentication maybe some other alternative?
