Integrating vBulletin into a java/jsp application using iFrame

[alexbnow]

Hello everyone,

I would like to have the forums show up on my home page inside a java/jsp application. I'm planning to use an iFrame to do this and just specify the src = url to display the content.

Is there a way to pass a username / password through the URL in order to login the user as some default user.

I assume I can use a cookie and set the cookie using my jsp application and then have vBulletin read that same cookie... (Is this really true?). But I'm also told that an application within an iFrame may not be able to access the cookie.

I would like to just have one user created in vBulletin and then if a person is logged into my jsp application as one of many number of users, I just want vBulletin to know that this person should be allowed to see content that's only available to logged in users.

Please help or suggest some alternative ways of accomplishing what I need...

Thanks,
Alex
