Could someone please point me to any resources that deal with login/password integration between UBB and general web site security? I would like to implement a "single-login" point where users of my web site can enter their login/password once (per browser session), and have that info automatically passed on to UBB when they enter the forums.
Any help on this topic would be much appreciated!
Mike

So many login-related topics I think I'm going blind....... I don't need one, I just wanted to comment on all these login questions. ---Skorpion

Yeah, I'd really like this too.
Personally, I think someone needs to look into how UBB log's in a person. What cookie it creates and such.
Once someone understands the cookie, you can use that in your site.
So, someone logs on and enters their username and password, your script then creates the cookie that your UBB looks for.
Or you can do it the otherway round, getting them to log into your ubb and then your website picks up on it.
My option would be the first.
Anyone out there smart enough to do it?

We also need this functionality. Our customer's website requires a login, and we'd like to have that login set the cookie so that they would not also need to login to UBB. It seems for UBB staff or Perl hacker this should not be too hard: [code][/code] We have already added an ASP hack that adds the user and login to the UBB member list.

Cookies must be generated before the actual HTML content is sent and therein lies the problem. If you're calling a login function, UBB must be the one generating the header. And that's a pain unless you have some programming experience yourself and know how to handle this situation.

When a user transfers from our client's site to the site's UBB for the first time they must re-enter their login and password. Our client's site already knows these values, so it is no problem generating the cookie before a user hyper-links to UBB. If UBB had a create_login_cookie.cgi without a UI that our site could execute before entering UBB, I think that would solve our problem. A less desireable alternative is if the cookie(s) were well-documented we could generate them directly. But I don't know what the magic numbers are. I can barely read Perl... Cookie [email protected][2].txt was created. If I modify it, UBB doesn't auto-login: login2452066.1358 08-15-2001%2009%3A17%20AM&2452137.0917 64.78.40.11/ 0 1328407808 29508727 3268436608 29435302 * ubber2452066.1358 kimubb6&kimubb6&kimubb6&45&00000010 64.78.40.11/ 0 139797120 29582155 59444720 29435305 *

I know this topic is old but while looking for a way to accomplish this I searched here and saw no one had answered it. I figured out how to do it (it wasn't that hard). The code below is PHP and javascript, but it would be quite easy to change it to ASP and vbscript, the logic is the same. I've tested it a bit and it seems to work fine, although I have yet to implement it. Hope this is helpful to someone. I'll leave it up for a week so people can download it. link to zip file

one thing you'll need to do is change the name of the file in the form action event from check_cookie to ubb_cookie (i forgot to change it).
Other than that the comments in the file show you the only other thing you need to change (the path to your cgi-bin in the first global var). You will need to be running PHP on your web server in order for this to work.
To integrate it with another page you only need to include it, possibly like this [code][/code](take the _ out of the script tags to use, I had to put them there so UBB would let me post the code)
You would need to change the page in the form action to the page you include it on. The next version I write will eliminate having to do that.
I haven't tested this integrated in another page, but it should work.
Hope that helped. If you're not a coder there are several web resources that will help you with what I just said.
