Using an outside userID and password

[davedr]

We’re ready to buy VB but need to have the user accounts controlled by our current system. It’s an existing database (not MySQL) and not using ldap.

We already have a user database for membership in our site and need to have VB work from that. We have a system set up with another 3rd party vendor where they just accept data from a specific domain and URL and we feed them the userid. Perhaps we could go that route?

Is there a mod out there that already handles this? Is there someone that would take such a project on?

I’m new to VB and know only basic PHP, so if it doesn’t exist already, we’d need to hire someone to help us code it (where to look for those folks?)
