'Officially' you can't do this because, as Wolverine points out:

Actually, I think I know why this wouldn't work. To login you must access the component or forum *before* you are actually logged in. Joomla will not allow that. So pretty much its not possible as far as I can tell.
However, it is possible to do this by creating two Forum menu items. The first one is 'not published' and set to 'Public' access and the second one is 'published' and set to 'Registered' access. You must make sure that the 'Itemid' parameter shown in the SMF Component installation options points to the id of the first (i.e. unpublished + Public) Forum menu for it to work.
I don't know if this will work for future versions of the component or Joomla, but so far it's worked for bridges V1.1.4.2 and V2.0 RC2.
I dont know if this is usefull or not, but i experienced some problems getting this to work, for some reason i tried to delete my original forum entry from the mainmenu, this was originally itemid 26, now when i came to readd the 2 forum entries, 1 unpublished and public, 1 published and registered, ofcourse this also changed the itemid`s for these, i couldnt get the bridge to detect the new itemids
I ended up having to use myphpadmin, browsing the jos_menu entry from my main joomla/smf db, removing the old forum entry id 26, and renumbering the new unpublished public id to 26
Once id done this my problems where solved
its a shame joomla doesnt allow you to edit itemids, or atleast allow you to renumber them (or does it, and i just didnt find the option?)
