 * Hi,
 * What I did is have the authentication process elsewhere, in a main system. WordPress
   is to be a blog module for a bigger system. What else do I need so that the user
   will be authenticated into the WordPress system?
 * So far, here are what I used, give that there already is a $user:
 * wp_set_auth_cookie($user->ID, false);
    do_action(‘wp_login’, $user->user_login);
   redirect(‘[http://localhost.localdomain/mublog/wp-admin/&#8217](http://localhost.localdomain/mublog/wp-admin/&#8217););
 * what else do i need? once i redirect it, it returns me to the wordpress authentication
   page.
 * Any piece of advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks! 🙂
