How do I authenticate a user into vB

[denniss]

Unfortunately, we'd already had our own authentication code in place before we tried to integrate vB. It'll be some work to rip our ours and use vB. That is an option.

I have authentication into vB working, but it is "cheezy". and not the best way to do things. I basically create a form, populate it with username & password and submit it via javascript to login.php.
