Share vB user/pw with other scripts

[sunny001]

Hi,

as I want to include a few other scripts at my site that user user/pw access for registered users, I'd like to know if it's possbile to share the vB MySQL db.

There is a HotOtNot script I'd like to include and I want to use vB as the central user management system.

I already thought about a few solutions:

1. Ask the developer of the script to sort it out.
- Contra: if he's not know with vB, there can be things messed up.

2. Automatically copy the username/passwd to the HotOrNot MySQL db when a new user registered.
- Contra: I don't know if/how this can be done (had to ask a freelancer to develop it)

Does anyone have had the problem, giving vB useres access to other programs so that they don't have to register a couple of times?

Any help is highly appreciated!

Thanks,
Sven

You won't be able to give external access to vBulletin passwords, only to the hash. I can imagine that the script doesn't use the same hashing procedure though, which would make it a bit more complicated.
