Is it possible to integrate custom databases between Drupal and ASP and SQL Server platform?

We have a game project developed in ASP and SQL Server and we need to integrate it into a user database with Drupal.

It would have been easier from project to Drupal (since the user_save and user_delete functions are globally accessible using drupal bootstrap), but I'm not sure if we can execute PHP functions on the ASP framework.

Is there any documentation for such issues? What do you suggest?

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

But if you really want to stick with this, I think the easiest way would be to write a PHP (SOAP) web service that can be used to interact with Drupal (add / remove users for example) using the Drupal API, and call it from your ASP code.

You can use SOAP Server and Services of Drupal modules. Or just write a simple and simple web service from scratch using PHP soap classes .

If you just want to use a custom game database for authentication, I know Drupal has several modules that allow authentication through external services. I find that basic or HTTP digest is pretty straightforward, but it probably wouldn't be too hard to write a service layer in an ASP application. Check out Drupal's section " User Access / Authentication" for external authentication ideas.

you can create your own drupal module and build an api that provides whatever you want to do, im pretty sure asp.net has a lib, or something must be in there to build a simple xml-rpc, rest client, avoiding soap will add an extra layer that you don't really need.
