Hello!
I also work on something like this, however, instead of selecting a webapp out of the
bunch for user credential storage, or LDAP or whatever, I decided to use basic apache
authentication that authenticates to the operating system (unix password) using pwauth.
Mediawiki has a good plugin to use Basic authentitaction to auto create wiki users on
their first login.
I make all apps use this authentication data, so "single sign on" is working.
What more, it is running behind https - it was a must in our case.
However, I don't know if phpBB and others could use basic auth info from apache
($_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'] ..or what)
Good luck
Robert
I recently set up a large collection of web apps with
an ldap directory
backend - included in this was phpBB and MediaWiki. However, I didn't get
the single sign-on bit of it working, neither was it one of my original
targets.
