Link to remote database

Hi,
  I'm trying to use the database of another website to authenticate users in my website.  This way the users at the other websites won't have to register at my website, all I would need to do is verify their name and password using the other website's database.  Is this possible, and if so where do I begin to work on it.

He's right,

If you mean you want to authenticate your users with google for example,
forget it. But if want to use another site that you own or have administrator
access to, that should work fine with the method posted earlier.

If your looking for a site to unify your log-ins, I remember reading of an
open source project, which was rather mature, that 'unified' the way sites
logged users on. I'm sure, if this is the route you want to take, you could
find the project via google or sf.net.

Hope that helps.
