 * I work for a university who is concerned about security issues with the WP login.
   They would like to use their own login system, which brings up a screen and allows
   access to certain designated users. Is this possible?

 * Anything is possible. What is your concern? That access may be cookie based?

 * The login system for WP is set up so that users are defined within the system
   and the info is in the mysql database. The university would like to bypass that
   system completely and use their system. A login screen pops up and it searches
   their database, then redirects to the WP admin page. I’m just not sure how to
   implement that. I am not a php programmer, but I have changed the code based 
   upon the forum’s recommendations.
