Wbb is closed software (like vBulletin, and some
others) ... but I
will
try to
learn more about AuthPlugin (up to now, I thought, AuthPlugin is be
only
designed for LDAP).
AuthPlugin is used in quite a few authentication plugins, including
plugins for a few pieces of forum software. For all of the
authentication plugins (that are correctly categorized) on
mediawiki.org, see:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Authentication_and_Login
Here are a couple that are specifically for forums:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:PHPBB/Users_Integration
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:PunBB_Authentication
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Invision_Power_Board_Authenticat

I haven't used them, so I can't vouch for their quality, but the phpbb
one is listed as stable, and has quite a few releases. They may at least
point you in the right direction.
