We are about to integrate vBulletin with our main website. This website requires registration.

We have a problem in that vB's password-strength policy is more restrictive than the main site's password strength policy. Specifically, the main site allows any combination of password/username, but vBulletin is not allowing the password to be the same as the username. This means some users who are legitimately logged into the main site are locked out of the forums. What we want is for any user logged into the main site to be treated as legitimate by vB.

Basically, we want vBulletin to accept any username/password combination that we hand it. Is there any way we can do this - ideally turn vB password strength policies off?

Many thanks
Peter
