Provides universal Secure Single Sign-On between vBulletin and different popular platforms like WordPress.

== Description ==

= Support is available at http://www.vbsso.com only =

Provides universal Single Sign-On feature so that WordPress can use the vBulletin user database to manage authentication
and user profile data. There is documentation available so that it can be extended to other platforms.

This plugin is provided as is. Support and additional customizations are available at an hourly rate.

Plugin doesn't share any user related information with any third party side. It strongly synchronizes the information
between your own platforms connected personally to your vBulletin instance.

Plugin doesn't revert already sync data back to its original state if you decide to disable plugin later.
