title: Login in Wordpress using external database data
body: <p>I have a WP site and also have a external DB (means not WP DB) with users. The insertion process at that table uses the same algorithm as WP uses. What I'm need to do here is login in WP but using this external DB which is in the same host by the way. I check this links <a href="http://www.tyssendesign.com.au/articles/cms/connecting-to-external-database-from-within-wordpress/" rel="nofollow">http://www.tyssendesign.com.au/articles/cms/connecting-to-external-database-from-within-wordpress/</a> and <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/external-database-authentication/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/external-database-authentication/</a> and for the first is not what I'm want but for the second one is not compatible with WP 3+ and I'm using 3.3.1, any suggestion or docs or something else?</p>
