| - | ===== Summary ===== | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Add **single sign-on** to your forum. External authentication is a pair of extensions, which in combination, allow you to integrate PunBB into an existing site which has a user management system or CRM. It will make PHP calls to code of your choice (to define ''$username''), and will auto-generate a user in the PunBB tables. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | * **External authentication** (external_auth) - Allows authentication of users based on external script. Any currently logged-in user (''$username'' defined) from your CRM will auto-generate a user in Flux/Pun. This script will run some code that links with our CRM, and then defines PHP code to set $username. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | * **Alternative header** (alt_header) - Replaces the FluxBB header with a custom version, with slightly adjusted layout. This is useful if the login/logout is part of your main site template and does not need to appear in the PunBB header also. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | ===== Bugs & Limitations ===== | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | * The extension is one-way from your CRM to PunBB, based on ''$username''. If a user changes their username, they will not be able to edit their old posts. | + | |
| - | * It may be preferable to combine the two extensions | + | |
| - | * The extensions fail on PunBB 1.3.1 | + | |
