[opencms-dev] Forum Module

[Alexander Kandzior]

I just did look on a mvmForum FAQ. Apparently mvnForum supports user relams,
e.g. Tomcat user realm. 

So one way of integrating would be implementing a Tomcat user realm that
uses the OpenCms user DB table, and then configuring mvnForum to use that
realm. 

Best Regards,
Alex.
