External Login to Web Mail

Question

I was wondering is there anyway I can let people login from a normal PHP page into SquirelMail/Roundcube etc?

So I would have a login lay-out setup and if they fill in their e-mail and password it logs them in to SquirellMail/Roundcube? They must not use the login page of SquirelMail but the one I created.

Is this possible, if yes how?
