I have an existing database and a table of usernames/passwords. Passwords 
there are simply encrypted *md5* hashes.

I'm also writing web2py application which must be able to authenticate 
users based on this third party db. No registration, group membership, 
password reset, etc, none of this is required. User should simply be able 
to type in his username (email) and password, password should be converted 
to *md5* hash and compared against the matching record on the third party 
database.

I understand I need to override a few methods in the *auth class*? Maybe 
there is already built in machinery for this?

If someone could point me to the right direction it would be greatly 
appreciated.

Thanks
