I am in the process of collecting information for a proposal. We presently have a large and growing SQL database of members, and am looking for a reasonable way to add forum software that would allow users a single login to the web site, utilizing the existing database for authentication.
I had come to the conclusion the most effective way to do this would be with a meta directory that would feed both the existing directory (the SQL database) and the forum's own directory. Users would provide data to the meta directory.
I've seen a message on this board to suggest that Gossamer Threads would be willing to create a custom snap-in that would connect GF to an existing SQL database (MySQL, for instance?).
Who would I need to talk with via e-mail to discuss the details of this arrangement?
