Hi, I'm currently trialling the software. I've integrated it into an existing application and successfully used the session("user"), session("password") to transparently log the user into the application and the forum.

However, when a user changes their password the synchronisation seems to fail and theuser then has to login manually to the forum. My temporary solution is to remove the logout option, but should this be necessary?

The password part of your login system doesn't actually do anything, the only reason why the password is passed across is so that the password for that user can be updated in the database if the password has been changed.

The only thing to connect your logged in user with their account in the forum is their username. Make sure that the persons username remains the same.
