SSO configuration for vBulletin V 4.2.0

[ashokkumar.muth]

We have installed and configured vBulletin® Version 4.2.0 for our organizations forum.

We would like to integrate VBulletin forum with our Idenity Management Sytem for Single Sign on (SSO).

In this scenario,

- Our SSO tool will act as a Identity Provider and responsible for authetication and SAML assertion generation
- VBulletin Forum will act as a Service Provider

What kind of SSO is supported by VBulletin Forum - eg. cookie based, SAMl based, posting the credentials (username and password) to a vbulletin url ?

Request expertise's advice on this approach to proceed further.

Hello

To create an SSO you will need to ensure the following is called

vb_login_username
vb_login_password
do / login
vb_login_md5password
vb_login_md5password_utf

Login method should be POST

Hope that helps

Thank you for your quick response.

Can you please give little in depth information on this approach ?

And also does VBulletin accepts SAML responses from IDP as an SP ?

Thanks in anticipation.

I'm not sure about that to be honest. Never did much research into this matter...however wouldn't be too difficult and has been achieved int he past.

I've been successful in creating a very simple one with above.
