I want to embed jforum in our intranet portal, but I don't want to allow users to register with all kinds of usernames. User must use their current username.

Too lazy to hack the user management portion of jforum to make it use our system's authn module, the easiest way would be to allow only admin to create news users.

Is there any way to do this?

Currently no. You can disable user registration in Admin Panel -> Configurations, and then insert users directly to the database, using two sql queries (one for jforum_users and other for jforum_user_groups)

It is in fact a good idea do allow adding new users through the Admin Panel.
