    What would probably need to happen is the forum would need to authenticate against Mystic's user base. I would imagine most forum software has plugins for external authentication (I think someone is already doing something like this with Mystic). Do you have a method to use external authentication with it?
    ----------------------------------------------------

    yes, I may change the authentication method, but the problem is that users may be created even outside the bbs but should be valid for BBS too

    I have this page for example: https://fidonet.3bsoft.com/index.php?t=page&id=bbs&
    a registered user (in the portal) will have to register again in the BBS

    I would like to create user in the BBS when it's created in the portal (I have full control over this, I may write additional fields in users table, for example a "mystic_password", to be imported in mystic (the portal is Witten in php, which is the value that Mystic BBS expects ?), and vice versa (I don't remember if "vice versa" is an Italian word, means in the other versus, should be latin)

    and then synchronise values if user change password in Mystic BBS (how?) or in the portal (I would update users table in this case, just looking for a way to synchronise Mystic BBS)
