I have complete access to the server as its a cloud machine.
My original intention here was to have the ccBill signup write to the ubbThreads database but its quite impractical really. Using Postbacks it can be done but hardly worth the effort. In addition, its not desirable to use the ccBill User maintenance CGI to maintain users on ubbThreads.
What is possible is to change the authorization to use MySQL from .htpasswd. ccBill have provided a modified CGI to do that. The script also maintains a backup in the .htpasswd file. It is then a simple matter to use either .htaccess or the apache site config file to authorize from the database.
What I would like to do, however, is to integrate the user login and I'm wondering how to best approach that. Any input would be most welcome.
