Want to auto-login to WP when logging into another app

  • What would be the ‘best’ way to log into WordPress from outside (single signon)? I have a composite app: wiki/blog/etc/etc, and am using the wiki as the point of signon.

    In the wikimedia extension I am setting cookies to allow the WP user to be logged on. This used to work fine until we upgraded to WP 2.5. Now we have got …pluggable.php…wp_validate_auth_cookie() to deal with.

    Getting around this would involve a whole lotta pain, recreating the various hashes, salts and what have you.

    So what would be great would be the facility to circumvent wp_validate_auth_cookie(), without hacking. Can anyone advise?
