I am trying to make a meta OSQA site on my current OSQA site and I was wondering when someone clicks signup on the meta it could go to the main signup and when someone signup they already have a account on meta with the same user id but not rep. Also can I do it with a site already with about 100+ users and let them have the same ID? |

First thoughts: create a new authentication module which accesses a user-database shared across the sites - as indeed the openId authentication does, at a much larger scale. The follow-up issue is that you may well want someone to be auto-logged in to the other site, when they log into one site. And there's various ways to do that. 1) If your sites are at meta.benny.com.au and main.benny.com.au , you could store the authentication cookie on benny.com.au, and then access it from both. 2) Or, when they login to meta.benny.com.au, then you authenticate them there, then redirect them to a special URL on main.benny, which then authenticates them there, and redirects back to meta.benny Yes, maybe. How much do you want to spend on this?

Ah, ok. Never mind then. I do wish you the best of luck with it, and if you do make it work, please do report back and let us know how it went.
