vBSSO is a vBulletin plugin that helps you connect to different software platforms like content management systems, blogs, and online stores using a secure Single Sign-On

in media wiki, if you dont want anyone to see the wiki content without first logging in, you do this to the LocalSettings.php file in the wiki root folder:
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false;
but if I do that, the connect platform in admincp goes red, and if you log out you can never log back in.
xeagle,
I seem to have a little issue here. The team got most everything fixed, but I want to bypass: /vbsso/vbsso.php?do=verifyemail after someone registers. I have to have them register on my forum and I've got that much fixed and working, however after they submit registration they should be taken to a page with the default vB message about them receiving an e-mail.
I've attached a pic to show you what I mean. The second picture is what should show. This might be a code change that needs to take place.
For some reason when i try to Logout on Wordpress, it just gives me a blank screen... Right now i can't get log files for it either for some reason, any idea?
I am also having this problem. I don't think it's vbSSO as the MediaWiki part worked, but the Wordpress plugin is not connecting.
Please follow instructions how to install a plugin available at http://vbsso.com/platforms/wordpress/. If you verified that you have already installed in properly, activated, and still experiencing connection issues - contact support team http://vbsso.com/report-an-issue/ and report an issue.
Can someone explain the vBSSO Access Settings to me? Allowed User Groups
User groups ids having access to any platform (separated by comma)
Allowed WordPress User Groups
User groups ids having access to WordPress platform (separated by comma)
Associated WordPress User Groups
User groups associating visitors from WordPress platform (separated by comma)
And how come my Admin-group from vB4 can login to wordpress, but regular users can't? (they should be able to comment, while admin should be able to administer)
Eg. the usergroups are completely unclear to me. Thanks for any help or reply in advance!
I get this error when i use the wordpress link in vbulletin
