If you have your own user system for your website, you can integrate the
system with chat server to avoid users entering the 123 Flash Chat room
with double registration. Please refer to the following document for
integration. Here comes the
configuration procedure:
1. Please
login the Admin Panel
2. Click System
Setting -> Integration Panel in sequence
3. Select the corresponding type from the Database dropdown list, click
the Edit button to the next panel, setup correct settings for it and
then click the OK button. 
Here comes the ways of integration.
1. Auth URL Integration (a simple and recommendable way)
The whole scenario is that the chat server will communicate with the
external database through a dynamic webpage, like PHP, ASP, ASP.net or
JSP. It is simple and stable,
therefore, a recommendable way to accomplish integration. It requires
you to be familiar with your own database, and capable of coding dynamic
webpage.
Explicitly speaking, the dynamic webpage (Auth URL) will perform as the
communication medium of the chat server and the database. i.e.: when a
user tries to log in the chat server, the server won't connect to the
user database directly, instead, it will send the username and password
to the dynamic webpage (Auth URL). Then the dynamic webpage (Auth URL)
will request the database to authenticate the user and respond to the
chat server in a predefined way, whether approved or declined.
Dynamic Webpage (Auth URL) Output:
(What does each number means on the authentication result)
0 - login successfully;
1 - wrong
password;
2 - the username can't be
used;
3 - login error
4 - username does not exist
5 -
successfully login as an administrator
Note:Dealing with guest login, the dynamic webpage (Auth URL)
will get no password and fail to find any username in the database, in
that case, the dynamic webpage (Auth URL) should respond 4 to ensure the
user to enter the chat room successfully, otherwise, if it responds 0, 1
or 5, the chat server will decide the username is already taken and
decline the user's connection request. 
Here we offer two samples for you to better understand auth-url
integration:
2. Other ways for Integration
Besides auth-url integration, 123 Flash Chat also offers other ways to
integrate with your database. Let's introduce them one by one.
If you need to integrate MySQL database, please select MySQL and click
Edit, fill in the required fields and click OK, the users stored in
MySQL database then could conveniently log in your chat.
without re-entering their username or password. 
If you need to integrate your Oracle database, the integration is
similar with MySQL, select
Oracle
and click Edit, fill in the required fields and click OK. 
If your database needs to be accessed via ODBC (such as SQL Server), you
need to configure it at here: 
If your database needs to be accessed via JDBC, please select Common and
click Edit, fill in the fields and click OK.
