Question about remote user account creation
 

I'd like to know if the following scenario is possible without major vBulletin hacking:

1. User completes a web form on a non-vBulletin page/system, on a different server to vBulletin.
2. Form submission is processed and data saved, then some system automatically creates a vBulletin user. The trigger will probably be a javascript/ajax call.

I guess that for security purposes, creating users without them using the normal VB registration process is not trivial, but is there a way to achieve this without hard coding within VB?

We cannot capture al the form data within VB (such as additional sign-up fields, for example) as the form submission requires specific processing and pushing through an API into a distinctly seperate system.

The purpose of this requirement is to avoid a user haaving to complete two sign-up processes, one for the form submission, the other for VB.

That should be doable.

The main data to push is:
1. Username
2. Password
3. Email Address
4. Usergroup

Once those are passed to create the account then the user can login to vB and go to there profile and edit the rest on there own.
