how to disable registration restrictions?

[countersweet]

note: i was directed to these forums by vbulletin staff, you can view the original thread here

how would i remove restriction that password must be different than username? and every other possible restriction too. i found some basic settings inside options -> user registration options but it only covers some basics like minimum name character, etc.

our user `registrations` are handled by another software (joomla and jfusion) which then calls registration function inside vbulletin, so i would like to remove every registration restriction that vbullet forces

what are they and where could i find them? i only encountered "username can't be same ass password" so far (and don't know how to disable it)

could someone help?

not possible? vbulletin is so restrictive

I'm sure it's possible, I just don't know that anybody has looked into it. The password being the same as the username became a big issue a couple years ago when accounts were getting hacked because of it. There are reasons for the security restrictions to be in place.

You should start by looking in the register.php file and maybe the functions_misc.php and functions_user.php files.
