[pmwiki-devel] Set authentication session outside of PmWiki

I have set up my wiki to authenticate against a forum (PunBB) database
so that only forum users can edit the wiki. Here is the recipe:
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/AuthPunBB
What I would like to improve is that when a user logs into the forum
that it also authenticates them for the wiki. (And similar for logging
out.)
Basically, I need to recreate the wiki authentication from outside of
PmWiki...and I'm having trouble figuring it out.
It seems I need to understand what SessionAuth() and HandleLogoutA() are
doing in pmwiki.php, but--if I'm being honest--it's looking a little
obfuscated.
In short, if I can pull a username and password hash from a database
(and I can), how can I create a session/cookie that will be recognized
by PmWiki independent of any other information?
Thanks in advance,
Kory
