Using wordpress hash on fields in database

Hi there,

First off: I am not using WordPress Network and I’m also not asking for help regarding the phpbb part.

I’m working on a website which will feature several wordpress installs (as to get seperate frontapges on different subjects) and a single forum. I know how to get multiple wordpress installs use the same user table, and I’ve also managed to get my phpbb to copy the required userfields to the wordpress database upon registration.

The only problem I’m encountering is that I’m feeding the wp_users table plain text passwords, and they need to be encoded with the salt/hash for the accounts to work in wordpress.

Registration will only occur through the forum registration, so applying the hash to those passwords is something that needs to be done on every (new) account.

I’m rapidly going bald, so if anyone has any idea on how to solve my issue I’d be forever grateful!

PS. I know this isn’t really a beginner’s question, but as I’m not allowed to post in the advanced forum… not sure where else to put it. ??
