Hi - for an upcoming project I'll be integrating a phpBB forum with SilverStripe.

I want to have a single authentication for both sites and wondered if anyone had any suggestions for going about doing this?

A few questions I have been considering:

Would it be better to use the phpBB members table and link this to SS or vice versa?
What authentication methods would you recommend?

Thanks - Peter
