The integration alone is pretty much the code posted in the first page of this thread. I did some very minor changes, will post what I'm actually using when I get home later.

Other things you need to do is figure out how many of your users are affected by the illegal characters not allowed in MediaWiki. Mine turned out to be not that many in the grand schemes. I make these users change their username to be able to log in. I have to do this manually.

I now prohibit the use of these characters in new registrations on vbulletin. this is a simple an option in the vbulletin control panel. This is really the only change needed in vbulletin to get the user access integration working.

Unfortauntely the two accounts aren't linked once someone logs into the mediawiki. Password changes aren't carried over. logout/logins are cookied seperately too.

I am working on more integration with the forums itself which requires some vbulletin template mods.
