I'm looking at options to get single sign on working with my web application and vBulletin.

Currently, we have a Python-based web app which has it's own authentication system. Ideally, we'd like users to be logged in to vBulletin once they've logged in to our site. I'm completely new to vBulletin BTW.

So far, I think the options are:

- Hack vBulletin to read our cookie
- Change our code to write a valid vBulletin cookie, but then we'd have to sync users/psswd
- Write some sort of proxy where every user action (creation, logging in, psswd change) would perform the same action to vBulletin

All of this sounds hard to me. Has anyone tackled this before?

Anyone have some tips on this one?
