Hi, I would like to integrate an external (non PHP) site with the Phorum user accounts. The registration and database stays completely on the Phorum side. I would just need a little "web service" which checks username/ password and returns OK / WRONG_LOGIN. I browsed the forum and checked out related solutions. Is the quick_auth script ( http://www.phorum.org/phorum5/read.php?28,17178 ) the best shortcut to create such a web service running on the Phorum side? What's the hash function used to store the passwords in the Phorum user database (if any)? I'll be glad to read any other thoughts or considerations.

Quick auth is about the lightest solution that one could write for retrieving the data for the logged in user, so go for that one.]]> Maurice Makaay Phorum Integration Mon, 14 Dec 2009 14:44:57 -0600 https://www.phorum.org/support/read.php?28,142337,142337#msg-142337 https://www.phorum.org/support/read.php?28,142337,142337#msg-142337
