PostNuke authentication snag

Michael P: The authentication process built in to PP verifies the user login/password via the PostNuke users table. But that's only if you click the Login button from PP.

So there's no check to see if the user is already logged in/out via PostNuke. i.e. no pass-thru authentication. Guess I'm left to my own devices on that one. I'm this far along, I might as well fix that too

So if I do this correctly, the auth should work just like it does for your VB integration - seamless. User logs in/out of PN effectively logs in/out of PP.

Hmmmmm, maybe if I authenticate via phpBB, that'll work easier too ? since supposedly you've already implemented that ? But don't want to force the user to have the PNphpBB module installed. Or at least use that as a model for the PostNuke auth code.

I hope this is the last real gotcha. Should checked that at the beginning 2 weeks ago. Grrrrrrrrrrr
