automatic user log in

Hi there,

first, many thanks for creating this very useful plugin.

Second, I am trying to set up the WP login cookie so that the logged in users from my custom website/database would automatically be logged in my WP site.
I am using the following php call in my custom log in script:

wp_set_auth_cookie($user_id,$remember=true,$secure=”,$token=”);

where the user_id is the one from my custom database user table.

This approach worked when I was using the WP’s own user database table, with the same user names as my custom names, etc.
But after using this plugin, this method does not do its job anymore.

Any suggestions on how to make it work?
