How to login into AEM with user information stored in Relational Database or Mongo DB?

[smacdonald2008]

Best practice is to port the users into AEM and then write a login component -as discussed here:

Creating a Login Component for the Experience Manager Toy Store

Or you can write a custom authentication handler:
