I have Drupal hosted on hosting service 1 (let us say:it is mediatemple) and phpBB(fresh installation) hosted at hosting Service 2 (say dreamhost) - now my problem is that I need to allow/share drupal and phpBB users to post on each other when registered with either drupal or phpBB.

In essence - I need to share the users database between two different apps (drupal and phpBB) - when each hosted at different servers.

Is this possible? if so pls provide some insights/related references.

Thanks.

All I found by search are sharing users between two drupal installations or share users between phpBB and drupal when they are located at same server - but what if they are located at other places?

Pls help.

It really depends on the host I suppose... will the server allow remote access to the database? I know ours only work for localhost connections..

Thanks - that is a good point to consider, let me first check with my host whether is it possible to remotely access the database.

If it is possible - then integration should also be possible I guess?

My doubt is whether for the user it is sufficient to login 1 time alone or should he login again for phpBB?
