Hi
 
I know you need to set Session variables (user and password) to be able to auto login into the forums using the MEMBER Api.
 
However, the code setting these variables is happening on another domain and then redirecting to the forum.
 
These session variables will I presume be out of scope. Is there a recommended way of passing these log on details to the forum from another domain.   I guess I can bung em in querystring parameters. and in FORUM/default.asp extract them and set the Session variables accordingly. (will this work?)
 
Is there a preferred way?
 
cheers
 
Mike

You will not be able to use the existing member API if the forum sites on another web site.

Instead you should look at using the HTTP XML API. This API has quite a few actions to allow you to create members, login data, etc.

It is more difficult to setup as it requires making an HTTP call to the API which then returns a result in XML which you would need to parse.

To beable to see what methods and actions are available point your browser at your forum HttpAPI.asp page.
