Membership Provider based on PhPbb database

Question

I am just wondering how to go about implementing a forms Membership provider based off of a PhPbb forum database. I have looked at simply hashing the password using a function port of 'phpbb_hash' and comparing it to the database values, however I can't seem to grasp the login system as the hashes I was getting were not the same as those in the database.

Can someone tell me how to authenticate a users credentials against a PhPbb database?

Answer 1

Have you seen this thread with an authentication provider? It looks like a good start to at least fix your authentication problem, as it seems to have the hashing problem down.
