Registering a user from another web application is not very easy.

Basically it needs the following steps:

• Get current server date and time
• Check if user already exists (exit if yes; prevents from overwriting a user who first registered to the forum, then to your application)
• Add user to forum and a specific usergroup ID:
  • Hash password if length <> 32 characters (assuming a cleartext password), and hashes to MD5 with salt
  • Insert the user record
  • Set the minimum reputation level
  • Insert custom user fields
  • Insert record into password history
  • Build user statistics

Additionally it may need the addition of an avatar, a personal user title and something alike.

Hope this helps
