I tried this extension with latest punbb 1.3.2, but its not working.

I tried to fix the errors, but was unable to.

I am trying to fix the mod, so any help would be appreciated.

You get a small performance benefit (you don't have to query against the remote database every time) but at a high security cost (once the first login to PunBB happens, the account is essentially not "linked" externally anymore).

Did you run into an issue that you're saying you need it (because if so, I know how to fix it).

It should be noted that you need at least an email column in $ext_other_selected_columns though.

http://www.punbb-hosting.com/ext/ext_db_auth.zip
Consider this an entirely unofficial, proof of concept type rough draft. I didn't really think this extension through very much and it certainly isn't up to the level of what I want for it as an official extension (eg: for an official extension, I would rather have an extension that takes objects of a certain type (AuthObjects?) and calls their methods, which would allow for both HTTP and database based auth via a similar system: it just needs more planning). This is just a quick, simple "get the job done" type of extension. tongue
I also just tested it and it appears to work fine. Let me know if you find any issues.

Do you just want to allow the login to work off of the external source? If so, there are two hooks in the authentication part of login.php that look useful.

I'm planning to hack one extension to support OAuth, would you mind explaining which hooks should I use? wink
