Everybody told good about VB, but I've the problem of an extenal authentication.
I've allready read the previous articles about the same problem, but no answer satisfy me. I'm a programmer (PHP), so develop new lines is not a problem.
The requirement
- add a forum to the main site
- minimum/no modification to forum SW
The goal:
- disable login form
- If "my allready authenticated user" reach the forum the first time, a new "forum's user" will automagically created and set authenticated by the forum
- If "my allready authenticated user" reach the forum the n-th time, will automagically set authenticated by the forum.
The idea
- create a "simple" PHP on forum web that make all the job, set the cookie and redirect to the VB's "index.php"
- put a link to ".../simple.php" on main site
The question:
- is there any API/documentation/library/class to create a new user?
- is there any API/documentation/library/class to log-in a user (AKA create a new session on DB and send a cookie to the browser)?
TIA
