Right. If person registers or logs in to vBulletin, having the same email address and username registered previously in WordPress, he is automatically connected.

In case if account doesn't exist in WordPress, vBSSO creates it automatically in WordPress based on vBulletin user profile and all themes and plugins are fully compatible to work for this user.

Thank you,

It pops up because you have account duplicates in your forum's users database. There are two options how you can resolve this:
  1. Merge accounts through AdminCP -> Users -> Merge Users.
  2. Or just delete unused account with the similar email address.

Thank you,

I haven't tried this addon; however, from the documentation on the initial posting, I'm assuming it only works "one way" (i.e., other programs share vbulletin's login.)

However, does this addon work the other direction (or suggest an addon that does?)

Basically, I'm interested in having vbulletin use another authentication for allowing users to login to vbulletin. For example, a person would enter a login/password in vbulletin...then, if it doesn't exist/match, then vbulletin would ask another .php file to authenticate elsewhere before giving up. If that makes sense....
