Site Integration

[clarke_kent]

I am in the process of developing a very large web application / site. I have purchased VBB and am now in the process of integrating login / user info.

My current website has over 35,000 users with user name / login info in a DB.

I am going to write a script to import just the user name / login info into the VBB MYSQL DB

All I need to know is:

1. What information and in Which table do I need to insert user name / login data

2. What type of encryption does VBB use for the passwords

3. Where can I find info on the format of the VBB cookie to enable site wide / external login ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Cheers,

I have since discovered that the password encryption is done with md5 has and a salt.

Am I right that VBB_PASS = md5(md5($pass) . $salt)

If so anyone know how to duplicate this password has in Cold fusion ? The hash I end up with is not the same.

I have now figured out the password issue, however I am still looking for information on:

1. What tables need to have login info placed in

2. What cookie information does vbb use and does it also track sessions in a table ?

You need IMPEX from vBulletin.com

Unfortunately I need to update / create the user login info on the fly.

I have managed to figure everything out except the session hash

How do you generate the password hash?

md5(md5($pass) . $salt)

Do/can you read? Or search?

I did find that but where can I get $salt from outside of vBulletin?
I'm linking the forum users with the main user database on my site and now I'm trying to update the vBulletin password when a user changes the password on main site so that the databases are synched.

`salt` field in the user table. It is individual for each user.
Search the forums? There's like a million threads on this, in fact, I posted it a few days ago.
