about a variable being passed from site into phpBB

I have a question...

 

I am creating an autologin feature where my site members are logged into the bulletin board automaticly

 

the only variable I find that is global is $sAuth

 

it stores the members id #... I can user this to pull the name and password out of the database and set name and password in the forum to eaqual these... is this a security issue?

 

or can $sAuth only be set by script on my site??? I am rather new and want to make sure this variable can not be asigned in another way...

 

thanks for any help if you can understand what I am getting at...

 

Paul
