How to integrate the vBulletin forums users with an existing ASP.NET site that has its own users and login, and to maintain the session between the two sites, so when a user logs in, he/she stays logged in when browsing the forum?
A:
Why are you posting an ASP.NET question in the PHP tag?
You should be posting your question according to tags.

It's possible, but efforts doesn't worth it I'd say.
Too much of dirty handwork while you're looking for a few mouse clicks - dont' ya? ;)
Either forget cross-site authorization or find yourself NET-based forum.

@happy Well actually your NET site have to have just access to the database used by vBulletin. And use it's users and sessions tables.

Install the vBulletin LDAP auth plugin, and get someone from the ASP admin side to setup LDAP server - whatever it may authenticate against - a custom DB, or AD.
Done.
