hi,

is it possible to use a single sign on mechanismen, this means a user authentificates e.g. itself using the functions of a webserver (e.g. autentification) and is then automatically signed on in vbulletin?

i try to find out how i can use vbulletin for a b2b community with diffrent kinds of groups and rights. the users can use vbulletin and other application. these application have to find the userid of the customer.

is this possible?

A lot of people use vBulletin and its security mechanisms to provide a single logon throughout their system. However as written vBulletin doesn't use server level authentication routines.

who says it doesnt have to tho?

make a new script

Code:

<?

//basically copy autheticate.php cause we'll use a lot of it later

require("global.php");





  if(!isset($PHP_AUTH_USER)) {  # if $PHP_AUTH_USER is not set

                                        

    Header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic Realm=\"Forum\"");

    Header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized");

    echo"error";

    exit;

  } else {

                                        

$username=$PHP_AUTH_USER;

$password=$PHP_AUTH_PW;



//start bb authentication

  verifyusername($username,$password);

//continue w/ authentication....

//paste in the code after verifyusername() here..

}

?>

not tested, but with some work it might be what you want. ive used php for this kind of authentication once before, and it seemed to work alright.
