Wouldn't it be much easier to just immediately redirect users to the new 
application before login?  Then they can login at the new application 
directly.  I'm sure you have login functionality in place because you 
also need to handle user coming directly to the new application.

Alternatively you can remove the old application completely and provide 
a login form in the new application under the URL of the old app's login 
page.
