Is there a way to authenticate Owncloud with Vanillaforums users?

Hi

I am thinking of setting up an Owncloud instance for my small community.
Is there a way to authenticate Owncloud (logging in) seamlessly with the Vanillaforums usernames?

I understand this is no small feat, but maybe someone will guide me on my path.

I think that question could better be answered by someone who knows ownCloud. But I found this

POST http://admin:secret@example.com/ocs/v1.php/cloud/users -d userid="Frank" -d password="frankspassword"
Creates the user Frank with password frankspassword

That could be done via a plugin directly after a user has been created...

Oh, but it wouldn't solve your problem of authentication, only help in creating the same users...

You would want to use jsConnect for your SSO. Checkout the technical documentation too: http://blog.vanillaforums.com/jsconnect-technical-documentation/

jsConnect for my SSO, got it! Thanks a lot hgtonight.
If I manage to write something that works, I'll make sure to bring it to the table. GPLv2 or MIT.
