How can I integrate wordpress in my website with common authentication?

A website is developed in core PHP with MySQL database. If we want to integrate Wordpress with that in such a way that we don't have to login in wordpress's wp-login page. Once we are login in core website, it should automatically login in wordpress. This mechanism should be applied to admin and front end too.

You can perform this programmatically with PHP:

require_once( "wordpress/wp-config.php" );
$user = wp_signon( array(
    "user_login" => "username",
    "user_password" => "password",
    "remember" => true
), false );

// see if the call failed
if( get_class( $user ) == "WP_Error" ) {
    die( "oops- wrong user/pass?" );
}

It'd be up to you to synchronize or link usernames and passwords with your other system.
