Hi,

Discussion and Answer

Two options:

1. Make Apache supply a REMOTE_USER environment variable to the TWiki scripts. TWiki takes this name as the authenticated user.

2. Create a new login manager for TWiki that handles the authenticated user based on the punbb login. We do not have good documentation, start at TWikiLoginManagerDotPm and use TWikiLoginManagerTemplateLoginDotPm (SVN:core/lib/TWiki/LoginManager/TemplateLogin.pm) as a base for your own login manager.

If inclined you can hire one of the TWikiConsultants.
