There's a heavily modified phpbb table which contains salted MD5 hashed
passwords.  Upon entering the correct password, $_SESSION is used to store the
user's information.  So it's easy to pull out the username of the currently
logged in user as a variable.

Is this (setting AuthId) the recommended procedure?

Thanks!
