I'm trying to integrate phpbb3 into my django website. The problem I have is that I use django.auth for main site authentication. But I want phpbb and django to share the same database or maintain some synchronization between them.

One of the problems is that if I want to update the phpbb database from django I need to hash the password in the same format as phpbb reads them .. but I'm not sure on how to do this? Im no hash/encryption pro...

Any tips on this? Or do you have another idea of how I can design the system?

Thank you!
