- | * Status: **incomplete** (works with FluxBB 1.3 dev) | + | |
- | * Current version: **[[http://punbb.informer.com/unofficial/punbb-1.3/extensions/external_auth/|external_auth 0.9]]**, **[[http://punbb.informer.com/unofficial/punbb-1.3/extensions/alt_header/|alt_header 0.9]]** | + | |

- | ===== 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 | + | |
