Does anyone know if there is a way to use the Dreamweaver User Authentication Server Behaviour to create a login page that will validate the user names and encrypted passwords used by the Ikonboard discussion forums?

I run a web site for photographers that has an Ikonboard forum and a members directory that I built using php and mysql. Currently I have to manage all listings myself, because I can't figure out how to restrict members' access to their own listings in the database. I could add username and password fields to the members table, but I don't want to do that if they already exist in the Ikonboard tables.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Andrew

I received some information from Ikonboard today about the encryption. Here's what they said:
<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>
Simple PHP mysql() tags can get the username easily. It is a tad bit more difficult for the password, because it is MD5 encoded as "usernamepassword".

Thus, in the table ib_member_profiles, you would check the table for
$username = $_POST['username'];
$password = $_POST['password'];

$password = md5('$username' . '$password');
<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size=2 id=quote>

Unfortunately, I'm still not sure how to incorporate this into the DW User Authentication.

Any advice?

Thanks,

Andrew
