Integrating vB user database with comments system?

[blindzior]

Hi, is it possible?
Without getting into details at the moment.. Right now I'm using simple made from scratch CMS to write news on my website and users need to signup to the CMS system if they want to keep their nicknames and need to do separate register if they want to use the forum.

Is it possible to use one user/pass for both comments and forum entries?

Thanks!

My suggestion would be to modify the CMS' authentication system to use vBulletin's style. Or vice-versa.

Guy who did the CMS said it would be a piece of cake to ingrate if vB user database passwords were coded in a simplier way. AFAIK vB uses some kind of javascript to code passwords using MD5 method... Too bad i'm not into programming myself.

That JS is not actually necessary. It is there to provide extra security (the password is hashed once before being sent to the server). You can send the password plaintext - you just have to hash it first, before performing the salting.
