calculating securitytoken, login

[marisconsul]

Hi,

I couldn't find out how to calculate the security token. I need this value to automatically log users in. Can someone please give the the formula or some code.

Thank you very much.

For a logged in user:

PHP Code:

$user['securitytoken_raw'] = sha1($user['userid'] . sha1($user['salt']) . sha1(COOKIE_SALT));
$user['securitytoken'] = TIMENOW . '-' . sha1(TIMENOW . $user['securitytoken_raw']); 


For a guest:

PHP Code:

'securitytoken'  => TIMENOW . '-' . sha1(TIMENOW . sha1(sha1(COOKIE_SALT) . USER_AGENT)),
'securitytoken_raw'  => sha1(sha1(COOKIE_SALT) . USER_AGENT) 


You'll have to search the vBulletin PHP files for COOKIE_SALT, I can't seem to find it when I looked.

COOKIE_SALT is your license number. It is define at the top of functions.php.

Note that it is license number, not customer number .

Ah, it isn't mentioned in the API so I never bothered checking the PHP file.
