Hi,

I would like to integrate the bbpress forum into a portal site that has its own login/authentication.

Is there some way I can either

a) not require logging in?

b) provide external authentication

c) provide a guest account that doesn’t need a password

and/or

d) provide credentials through query parameters

or… Is there an other better way?

thanks a lot,

Linus

Technically its all feasible.

a) you can override bbPress login functions with the ones matching with your portal

b) that’s again feasible (I think CK was working on a plugin for this, try some searching)

c) its feasible but I don’t have any idea of going about it

d) which credentials? login credentials through GET? u gotta be kidding me

Thanks for the reply.

Well, yeah. I was thinking more along the lines of using such a thing with the guest account w/o password, so I could load /bbpress?user=guest sort of thing.

I did see an LDAP login plugin. I’ll have a look at that.

thanks,

Linus
