vb.org Archive - View Single Post - auto login to vb when login to main site?

Hi all.
I am developing a site that has it's own user registration and login system. I have got as far as auto creating a forum account for a user when they register to the main site. That's fine. Now I want them to be auto logged into the forum when they are logged into the main site, so they don't have to login twice.

I have searched about for an answer but not found anything definitive for this. I thought it may be as easy as creating the sessions and cookies for VB in my main login system. I.e bb_sessionhash, bb_userid, bb_password etc. However, I am noticing that the current version of vb no longer seems to generate bb_userid and bb_password cookies when logging in directly to vb. However my bb_sessionhash cookie and coresponding db entry generated by my main login script do seem to be correct, but I'm not logged in to vb.

Can some one tell me what the best method is for logging into vb via an other login system?
