Syncronize users with other CMS system.

[f1vlad]

Hi,

I have a problem of double-logins.

In short, I have password protected section of staff employees system which uses own auth system. Inside, I have bulletin boards for them, which so far they've been able to enjoy using without having to login, with little hacks, their user names are pre-filled and they are happy. vBulletin however looks at them as guests so they cannot use advanced features like smileys, subscription to thread or WYSIWYG editor for new posts.

What I am trying to achieve:
What I am trying to do is to one-way sync two user tables, custom auth system and vBulletin's. Syncing is activated whenever user logs in to "Staff section". At that time I sync username and password (+ other optional profile info) from my user table to vBulletin usertable. I have done this very successfully for phpbb.com and moodle.org -- but cannot get vBulletin to work.

What I think the issue is is the column called "salt" in username-table. What does that do? And how can I generate that so that vBulletin users are created automatically whenever my native users login.

Thank you much for your help,
Vlad

Yeah seems like nobody really wanted to help. Anyway I created my own solution. Look at brief description of my solution here if it will work for you I'll share my code with you. Contact me around Tuesday for that:

Ok, stand by guys, I will share the code with you. I just need to clean it a little bit to remove my own authentication pieces (for obvious security reasons).

I can't go there. I have following message
