I'm a hack when it comes to coding, so this may be a ridiculous question...

We're planning on setting up a message board using phpbb for our church. We're trying to avoid users having multiple log-in's since that would be really confusing.  Is there any way to set it up so that users can use their WebLink ID to log-in to the message board? I wasn't sure if there was a way to use Data Exchange for authentication, so I thought I'd ask here before I rounded up some volunteers to look into it.

Have a look @ this post.  It will provide you with an array of downloadable code libraries.  The most common mechanism is to call DataExchange using the GetIndividual 2.0, passing in the weblink userID and Password (see the code samples for more details).  DataExchange will either pass back an individual or will pass back a message telling you no one matched those credentials, both in XML form.
