Re: [Cppcms-users] Cppcms-users Digest, Vol 14, Issue 14

Good morning Artyom.
 
I have a question and I was trying to see if you might have a suggestion.
 
I am building an application using cppcms, but part of my application involved email and forums.  I am planning to utilize phpbb for the forums, but the issue I'm having, is that I only want the user to sign in once.
 
So, user logs in, the default page is in the cppcms realm, they click on a link to go to the forums.  Any ideas how I would handle this?  I'm running this behind nginx, but from what I understand, session information is in cppcms, and can't be accessed by phpbb.  I could maybe modify phpbb's login code to instead pull from a database or something, but I was wondering if there isn't something simpler.  One thing I thought about was maybe posting the login data to the phpbb module (like through a url redirect) but I'm not confident in that.  
 
Basically, cppcms gives my application so much more that I need that PHP can not.  However, I would like to cut down development time on features that exist in open source locations, but most of those will utilize PHP.  But I want to present only 1 sign in for the user.  
 
Thanks!
Matt
