You may try this, paste this code in your theme's functions.php

function check_login($user, $username, $password) {
    if(empty($username)) {  
        // wp_redirect(...);
        exit;
    }
    $user = get_userdatabylogin($username); 
    // now check if user is allowed
    if( /* if not allowed */ ) {
        // wp_redirect(...);
        exit;
    }
    return $user;
}
add_filter('authenticate', 'check_login', 99, 3);
