Hi I currently have a site that use JASS using the JBoss server. It is configured to use a simple. User and Role tables. Can this integrate with Jforum so I do not have my user have 2 different logins?

Your question is a bit vague, but I'll try and answer.

It certainly could, but I don't think anyone has written the JAAS plugin code that JForum would need implemented to enable this.

Since I haven't played inside the code much I don't know how much work would be required to implement such a thing, given the architecture, etc. However, given the group/permissions scheme is fairly complicated, so I bet it is quite a bit.

I've heard there is work being done in the forthcoming 2.1.5 release for Single-Sign-On features, but I don't know what those are.

Sorry what I meant to say...

My current web app uses JASS authentication to allow my users to login to the site.

I take it that JForum does not integrate with JASS?

I just want to clarify again:

Are you referring to the "JAAS" (not JASS) security framework?

If so, JForum does NOT support it out-of-the-box. See this recent post in the forums.

Therefore, support would have to be added for this, and I haven't personally done any research into how much effort would be required.
