advice for external auth

   I have a WP/bbPress install that uses a custom WP plugin based on http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/external-database-authentication/ to auth against our external account system.

   This works perfectly well for WP, where the plugin will trigger on WP login. However, I don't want my bbPress users to have to log into WP first in order to access the forums. Ideally, bbPress could use the same plugin (or follow the same logic) to externally auth and create the shared WP account if needed.

   Is there a quick way to repurpose or simply invoke the WP plugin from bbPress? If not, can I hook the bbpress login in the same way as wp (in a "bb_authenticate" action)?

   Just redirect the users to register for WordPress instead of bbPress. If integration is done properly, when the user logs in to WordPress, they will be loggged in to bbPress.

   There were a couple other topics as well, but basically make all your register and login links point to WordPress, and remove those functions from bbPress files.
