How to add a login form to a Wordpress site, linked to another site

I need to create a login form on a business website, that will link to the login details/database that are actually held at another site, so that people can login using either site.

I know that I can add a link in the (newer) business website which redirects to the other site's login page so that people can login there, but is there a way of creating a login in the newer site, which goes directly to the other site's database?

Is the other site also a Wordpress site?  If so is the MySQL DB on the same server?

Thanks for your help.

You've confirmed that it's probably too complicated as it stands and I'll think of another way! :)
