[Opensim-users] phpBB and OpenSim?

The biggest issue is the format of account names is stored as 2 columns (
firstname, lastname) and the password is encrypted. You will need to modify
phpbb to use that style of username and be able to check that the password
is a match. Im not that familiar with what systems phpbb has for external
account sync or verification if any. if such things exist you may be able
to make a auth module that uses the opensim database directly. One thing i
thought would be useful is a OAuth module for opensim. Severial forumns and
CMS systems support OAuth. would me interesting to use opensim as a auth
source using that.
