Custom login module in CQ 5.4

[nagarajan_rajag]

I'm using Adobe CQ 5.4 and would like to write a custom login module to authenticate across my database. However in the link http://dev.day.com/docs/en/crx/current/deploying/custom-login-modules.html, instructions are given for 5.5 only. Would like to know if there is any way that I can do this in CQ 5.4?

There is a good community article covering this use case:

This is done by using a custom OSGi bundle that is covered in this article.
