Hi Freddie,
I don't have direct experience with delegating authentication to PHPbb3,
but, depending on the mechanism they use and whatever authentication API
it may expose, it could be a simple matter to create a Zend_Auth adapter
that uses PHPbb3 authentication.
Just implement Zend_Auth_Adapter_Interface like this:
<?php
require_once 'Zend/Auth/Adapter/Interface.php';
class My_Auth_Phpbb3 implements Zend_Auth_Adapter_Interface
{
/**
* @return Zend_Auth_Result
* @throws Zend_Auth_Adapter_Exception
*/
public function authenticate()
{
// delegate authentication to PHPbb3, returning a
// Zend_Auth_Result object
}
}
?>
You may alternatively wish to directly use PHPbb3's authentication
mechanism, which may be invoked using a Front Controller plugin.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Darby

Hi,
I am interested if anyone has any experience integrating Zend_Auth with
PHPbb3 so that a website based around the Zend Framework can delegate
authentication to PHPbb.
While there is a documented API for authentication I am not exactly sure
how to integrate it. Has anyone else done this before?
Regards Freddie.
