I have some drupal 6 sites sharing its users table. Now I will add a new site using drupal 7, but users table structure (and password) changed.
Which is the best way to keep just one users table (username, uid, password, ...) accross drupal 6 and drupal 7 sites? I was thinking of using OpenID and configure one site just to act as a server and all the others as clients.
Any hint is wellcome.
The Bakery module might help you out:

Hi,
in our infrastructure we have an LDAP with user data and mixed Drupal 6/7 using the same LDAP

Bakery may solve my problem; but the *main* site isn't drupal (legacy one); I coded a special function to allow them login using drupal password, but making my function interact with bakery would be harder.
About ldap, I always think it is an overkill; I will not setup a LDAP just to login.
I has thinking more about a module similar to https://www.drupal.org/project/alt_login which allow using 2 usernames, but using the new password scheme. I suppose I will make my own module based on alt_login

You might also consider CAS drupal.org/project/cas as it has pretty wide support in terms of platforms and it is relatively straightforward to integrate into your legacy site. This way every site has the same password but you do not NEED to share tables. It redirects you to whichever you pick as your central site in the same way that open ID works. Only caveat is the site serving logins/passwords MUST be https. (no plain text passwords).
