I am looking to create a support forum where members can ask any support questions. However, the tricky part is that I would like to have the forum integrated as a part/section/page of the wordpress admin.
I could create a seperate support website at http://help.domain.tld, but then people would have to create a member account and sign into that support forum.
What is the best way to integrate a support forum and the Wordpress admin? Is there is stable way to share the user accounts so that users don't have to log into the support site?

bbpress works great, the integration with wp works perfectly.

do you mean a place only reachable from inside the back end? kinda not public? if so there is a community plugin available here that does something like that...

Yes, exactly. The forums should only be accessible from the admin (not public).
Ovidiu, can you recall the name of the plugin you referred to?
