This plugin allows users to authenticate using phpBB credentials directly in DokuWiki. This plugin is a two-ways authentication meaning a user can authenticate in phpBB or DokuWiki (SSO-like system).

Features list:

• Authentication: you can login using DokuWiki form with phpBB credentials.
• SSO: a user authenticated using phpBB will be authenticated in DokuWiki and vice versa (mutual authentication).
• Groups: phpBB groups can be used to set ACL.
• Profile: DokuWiki user's link redirects to phpBB user's profile.
• Cache: a cache system is used to improve performance.

DokuWiki and phpBB need to be on the same domain for the authentication to work.

For the SSO feature, the plugin piggybacks on phpBB's cookie by fetching the user's session ID from it.

Search and install it in the Extension manager or install it manually by extracting the contents of the archive to lib/plugins and renaming the directory to authphpbb3.
