Laravel 4: authenticate login from Codeigniter DB

Question

I have Database created by Codeigniter included "users" table, the problem is "password" in this table hash by Codeigniter and I need to authenticate login using Laravel 4,

if (Auth::attempt(array('email' => $email, 'password' => $password)))
{
    return Redirect::intended('dashboard');
}

how to rewrite Auth::attempt to accept Codeigniter HASH?

thanks,

You have to use same hash function used in Codeigniter (it's sha1 by default), then you can login the user manually if the password matches, so instead of using Auth::attempt:

if($user = User::where('email', '=', $email)->where('password', '=', sha1($password))->first()){
    Auth::login($user);
    return Redirect::intended('dashboard');
}
