(Required) vBulletin vBSSO minimal package implementation
1. Setup package - 1h
1. Handle login event - 1h
2. Handle logout event - 1h
3. Handle register event - 2h
4. Sync user credentials if user changes his email in vBulletin - 1h
5. vBSSO Configuration page - 1h
6. Adapt primary vBSSO Access Settings page to filter that vBulletin could be like a connected platform - 3h
7. Testing, packaging, and deploying - 5h

(Optional) vBulletin vBSSO optional implementation
1. Override login, logout, register creating new custom vBSSO block in vBulletin as custom solution, because vBulletin user a form to submit user login data by default., vB has no API to overwrite login block itself, but allows to create new login page. 1-2hr

Account Collisions
If you have two different sites, this would not solve the issue with the issue of two users having the same username or email addresses on multiple sites. If there is serious interest in this, we could work out a system that handles those duplicates. For example, we could offer the ability to change the username to something that doesn't exist or to allow the same username if the email address matches.

That last part would be great! Say...if someone registered on the toyota forum and there was (the same person) or username on the honda forum there could be a choice in the admincp to choose the prefix for the alike user names. So one would be toy-bob and hon-bob -- something along those lines. Or a choice to merge the users.


It would also be interesting to see other forum platforms added to this somehow. Invision - Xenforo.

I will be keeping a very very close eye on this though. It is incredibly handy for network sites.
