  Hello folks....
  
  I'm not such an advanced postnuke webmaster and I dont know if this idea has evern been raised...
  
  I was thinking that postnuke might want to have the option to allow PN sites to merge or sync their users if they wanted to....
  
  Having said that, they can maintain separate users tables or sign in with the same table. How to do it best is not for me to suggest... the PN developers would have much more efficient methods than my imagination.
  
  Good day everyone!

  It would also be nice if Postnuke had a function that could actually merge the users of two sites on completely different servers if both parties agreed - kinda like the MSNM blah wants to join your buddies list, allow? comes up and if allowed you swap users, soon you would only need one login for most postnuke sites!
  
  Now for the legal implications of this...

  .PN passport! (as opposed to .NET).
  
  Well, it would never work, but still, it's a nice ideology ;)

  yes the PNpassport! Just wack a small line in the terms and conditions stating something like this:
  
  "By registering at this site you aggree to letting us share your information with our partner sites."
  
  You may login to any postnuke site displaying the PNpassport logo!!!!
  
  Of course you would need a central repository to contain all of this user data and since it was my idea I will own and operate this database ;)
  
  Welcome to the revolution LOL

  It's technically feasble via SOAP (i'm working on porting a soap module from xaraya to postnuke) to expose the Postnuke site database to other sites but there would, no doubt, be a ton of legal hurdles to go through before doing so.
  
  It would, perhaps, be simpler with a clean user database where users agree to this when signing up but with an existing user database it could prove extemely difficult to alter how the user details are used even if that user information is never actually transmitted to another site (via a simple is user who they say they are check with postnuke.com).
  
  Either way it would take some serious infastructure planning to offer such a solution. But I do agree it would be a very nice solution for postnuke related sites; e.g. international support sites, 3rd party developers sites etc. to be able to automatically authenticate anyone registered at postnuke.com.

  It's techncially possible, I forget which CMS it was, but I signed up on one site and it indicated it was possible to use that log in on other sites. Say, I could log in to Marks site by using mhalbrook@postnuke.com as my user name and my PN password.

  Well ... there are tons of ways to accomplish this...
  
  Multisite with a shared userdb is one of them
  Postwrap (with some modifications) is another
  LDAP authentication might be yet another
  A passport like module
  
  The problem with all of these solutions is that you have to make an aggreement with all sites you like to share account info with. It is doable, but it's not only a technical issue :(

  Sounds like an ATM. Deposit here, withdraw there.
