Is there a particular forum post that covers the basics of integrating the web wiz log-in system with the log-in system of an existing website?
I.e. I want my website forum link to be streamlined so that if people are logged in to the website, they will also be logged into the forum.
This means I would need to either edit my log-in webpage to work with the forum "author" table, or I would need to modify the forum code to work with my table of users.
Upon initial examination of the "author" table and log-in pages ("login_user.asp'") for the forum, I noticed that the forums log-in system is far more complex than mine and uses password encryption, etc. So my initial thought is to go with the forum log-in system.
Therefore I would simply delete my log-in web pages and table of users and simply redirect my website users to the forum log-in pages. Of course this also means that I would need to know the name of the relevant cookies that store whether or not a user is already logged in etc.
So basicaly I wanted to know if someone has already written a forum topic that covers this basic info. I.e:
-An introduction to how the log-in system works (cookie names, field names, etc.)
-Some tips and tricks on simple ways to edit the log-in system that wont cause problems later on.
Thanks in advance.
