If the login processes are based on sessions (like most are), I'm sure you can add any session variables you want to either process... add your site login session variables to the message board login and vise versa.
I've built my sites entire authentication around my message boards authentication so one login gets me anywhere in the site. ..:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

I curious if anyone has integrated a CF-based forum into their site that integrated your existing authentication? For example, fusetalk has the capacity to choose between local or external authentication and one may edit a login.cfm file to put one's own authentication in place and then set some variables based on your session (or cookie) variables. I tried installing fusetalk but I'm getting some errors and have questions into them, but while I'm waiting I thought I'd see what other may have done.
