Is it possible to integrate user databases between Drupal and an ASP&SQL Server platform?

We have a game project designed on ASP&SQL Server, and we need to integrate it's user database with Drupal.

This would be easier from Project to Drupal (since there is user_save and user_delete functions available globally by using drupal 开发者_JAVA百科bootstrap) but I'm not sure if we can execute PHP functions on an ASP platform.

Is there any documentation for this kind of problems? What do you suggest?

First of all, I think you should rethink your strategy. Why did you choose ASP & MSSQL and why did you choose Drupal?

But if you really want to stick with it I guess by far the easiest way would be to write a PHP (SOAP) webservice that can be used to interact with Drupal (ie. add/delete users) using the Drupal API, and call this from your ASP code.

****edit****

You could use the SOAP Server and Services modules of Drupal. Or just write a plain and simple webservice from scratch using the PHP soap classes.

If you're just looking to use the games user database for authentication I know Drupal has a few modules that allow for authentication via external services. I believe basic or digest HTTP is pretty straightforward but it probably wouldn't be too difficult to write a services layer on the ASP app. Check out Drupal's "user access/authentication" section for ideas on external authentication.

you can build your own drupal module and build an api that exposes everything you want to do, im pretty sure asp.net has a lib or something should be out there to build a simple xml-rpc, rest client, avoid soap, you will add an extra layer that you dont really need
