Is it possible to initiate a vBulletin user session by providing the userID ?


Looking to do the following....

I have 2 separate systems, ClientExec & vBulletin. The only thing from vBulletin I want is the forums.

The idea is to tap into the ClientExec system and create vBulletin accounts every time a ClientExec account is created. When a user logs into ClientExec, I want to pass the userID to vBulletin and initiate a vBulletin session, essentially allowing SSO.

If the userIDs match-up perfectly in the database, would this be possible?

really the question is... can I initiate a session by manually hard coding the userID, by-passing the log in step.
