Hi, I'm new with elgg and I'm having just the same problem.
Did you finally solve this issue? Could you explain how did you?
Thanks!
One approach could be to use Elgg's web services API:
awww heckz - dis a an olddd post - me not remember.. ;-) i reckon since then we have some plugins to do what Niels had wanted, I posted @another Topic past few days - look for Afioni & SiBaz's plugins for 'Remore Login'.. maybe outdated @ v.1.7 - but hey who cares ? can always update the code here & there abit and make it work ;P
