Summary0006391: authenticate from phpbb
Description

It would be nice to be able to authenticate from a phpbb database.

Integration of bugtrackers, wikis, and forums are becoming far more common.

Requiring users to register multiple times to get access to all of a site's features is cumbersome and counterproductive.

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki, http://www.splitbrain.org/Programming/PHP/DokuWiki/index.php, etc have plugins or modifications to allow you to authenticate from an existing phpbb database.

It would be nice if mantis could do the same.

TagsNo tags attached.

Checkout the forums, I think someone implemented this before.

The previous phpbb mod was only for phpbb 2.x and mantis 1.0 RC.
The auth, formatting/templating is totally different for phpbb 3.x and the packages provided by the previous mod are stale, and do not work.

Please see http://www.mantisbt.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=21486 regarding more information on the issue.
