Short of using OAuth2, you could write your own app component to tie NodeBB into MySQL. One of the issues is that MySQL is a generic database so the format of your authentication easily won't match in some obvious way, so needs a customer connectors no matter what. Just adding another DB source for authentication would not solve your problem. It would have to be something that connects to your database and has the ability to understand your schema and has the ability to store all necessary additional schema changes there.
Unsolved NodeBB VPS setting requirements

Hi, I have VPS Ubuntu with some PHP software as SMF and WP % Webmin using, Apache and MSQL.
Can I add Nodebb or it requires server for itself? -
@Kosta-Tko how much memory, etc does the server have?
-
Cloud 2GB, memory is not an issue but would it have any conflicts wit already installed progrmas?
-
@Kosta-Tko conflicts are very unlikely.
