If you need to protect directory with the password and only allow registered users to access it and to compare their ID/password with the info from Vbulletin database this can be done with mod_auth_mysql for apache.
It just uses mySQL database for authentication, you can set it to use forum database and user table.
I have this module installed on one of me servers and it also works together with mod_cookies, so if you have your ID/Pass saved in cookies, it does not even prompt you for password.
