I have embedded a social-software package inside of a Drupal installation - How can I pass the user-name and their password from Drupal to the other program, or somehow arrange that the user doesn't need to sign-in to more than one program? It wouldn't be a problem except getting their username to show up on both programs when they post. I can make the other program the 'sign-in' point, if that will make it easier to cause both programs to show the username/password. Any ideas? (obviously, I'm a bit of a 'newb') - Thanks in advance - I realize this may be a somewhat unusual request. - if needed, please feel free to email me; Lee-vit-Over@hotmail.com -- Thanks again! - Lee.

The idea you are describing is called Single Sign-On (SSO). There is a module available here: http://drupal.org/project/sso that will allow you to share user tables between two different Drupal installs. I am not aware of any module as of yet that allows you to share logins with systems other than ones also based on Drupal.

Bakery Single Sign-On System http://drupal.org/project/bakery. I am also interested in having users logging with a single sign-in from a non-Drupal site to a drupal site. Let me know if you have resolved your case.
