1) I don't quite understand the process that occurs when associating a logged in user with a forum account. For example I have an existing database of users � when a user who hasn't used the forum before ( and therefore does not have a record in the jforum_user table ) logs into the site and attempts to access the forum, what happens exactly?
The documentation says that if the username returned from authenticateUser() does not have an associated userid, then one is created on the fly. Does this mean that the username is added to the jforum_users table, permanently?
Just to be clear, when a user registers with the main site their details are stored in the existing database. Do I have to also store the details in the jforum_users table, or is that handled automatically when a logged in user accesses the forum?

2) Since I am using Tomcat container-based authentication do I need to implement my own RemoteUserSSO class, or can I use the default class? Is the request.getRemoteUser() all I need to rely on, or do I also need to use cookies?

3) When SSO is enabled I understand that the Login and Register options are removed from the forum page � is there anyway to manually reinstate these options � and link them to the respective login and register pages of my main webapp?
