[Phpwm] PHP Gallery + PHP-BB

[Peter Graham]

The main reason I have decided to go with PHPBB is because it has a MOD
that lets you authenticate via LDAP, our whole network and therefore
much of the intranet runs of a Active Directory backend. When
researching I did not come across another PHP/MySQL forum able of doing
this.

The LDAP MOD has an option to synchronise PHPBB groups with AD groups so
I can do nice things like setup a forum for a course, and don't have to
worry about managing the users manually.

The security of PHPBB is a concern to me, however the Network Manager at
the college used to have an out of the box installation of it running on
the Intranet Server. I decided that if he was willing to have it
installed internally then I was willing to consider using it.
