Sorry for the late answer, but I’m not going further in this, I suggest to ask this at vBulletin forums as I got not enough insight in vBulletin

Thanks again. My situation is this: I need to log into vbulletin with my username and password using POST in Java. Is this what you did as well? Are the POST form names “vb_login_password” and “vb_login_username”? I can’t seem to find this information anywhere.

$hash = md5(md5($password) . $salt);

wherein $password is the plain password and $salt is the salt for that user (found in the db)

This was helpful but I’m wondering if you could possibly explain in greater detail what the vbulletin login in its entirety looks like.
