Login question

[Dios]

Hi there,
my company is really interested in buying vb3, but we need to know if there is a way to 'pre login' a user.
We want to use vb3 in our own cms but we want to avoid that a user has to login twice, once for the cms and once for the forum.

Thanks very much!

It should be possible to intergrate the two granted your system also uses mysql + php. I cannot tell you for sure if you can getit working, but i have seen it done before.

Thanks for your answer.

To make things a bit clearer, it would be no problem for us to provide any session or cookie data needed by vb to recognize the logged in user. If that is the way how vb does the login stuff.
It would even be no problem to register the user twice, because this is taken care of for the user. So the only thing left is to avoid the double-login.

Thanks again for your answer and best regards!

The only thing you really need to watch out for in vB 3 is how it processes passwords. It is hashed multiple times with md5, a salt field was also introduced to stiple brute force attacks.

Once you take a quick look at the code you should be able to make it work with about anything as long as you know what you are doing.
