What's involved in bridging vBulletin users over to Deki Wiki, and automatically logging them in?

The mod allows for shared user credentials, meaning that you can create your account on vBulletin and use it to log into deki wiki with it. Also, vBulltin groups can be used to map vBulleting user rights to deki wiki user rights. However, it does not do single sign on.

Go to your control panel.
Click on service management.
Click on 'Local'
Enter a description: vBulletin
Enter the SID: sid://mindtouch.com/2007/12/vbulletin-authentication

Enter the following configuration settings:
* db-server: (optional) server IP address or domain name where the vBulletin MySql server instance lives (default: localhost)
* db-port: (optional) MySql port number (default: 3306)
* db-catalog: catalog for vBulletin database
* db-user: username that can read the vBulletin catalog
* db-password: password for username
* db-options: additional options for the MySql connection string (default: none)

You'll need to import groups and assign roles to them to finish up the configuration, but that's the same as for other authentication providers.

Once that's done, a new drop-down box appears when you try to login. Select it and enter your vBulletin username and password. And voilà you'r logged in with your vBulletin credentials!
