[Forum] Mobile API not logging in

[redraider]

I am trying to use Mobile API for userlogin and it seems to return "badlogin" error even though I am inputting correct username password
Please help me understand what I am doing wrong, here is the get request I am sending:

[IBxAnders]

Please open a support ticket - your original post contained sensitive information such as username and password

[IBxAnders]

Also, not sure what you are trying to accomplish here - are you creating your own login method or something? The password can't just be plaintext as you've had it.

I opened a support ticket and I was told vbulletin doesnt support Mobile API. So I had to put the information here because I need help.

Per the instructions given on this page: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/conte...thods?langid=3

The mobile API allows unhashed password to be used. Is that understanding incorrect?

• vb_login_password - The password of the User. If client use this to login, the plain password may be sniffed during the pass in the network
• vb_login_md5password - The md5 password of the User
• vb_login_md5password_utf - The md5 password (Unicode) of the User

I am getting this error
{"session":{"dbsessionhash":"443da956d6d07a45dab8af693291240e","userid":"0"},"response":{" errormessage":["badlogin","http:\/\/www.scorechase.com\/gmat","api=1&","0"]}}


Which means bad username / password. But this is the correct username and password. So whats the meaning of this error?

[redraider]

Anyone?

Since this involves custom coding, the correct place to ask for help with this is at www.vbulletin.org.

[redraider]

Can you provide an example of how login code should be used? Since the error is coming from Vbulletin's API, I find it really hard to understand why you wont give atleast a hint what could be the reason of API returning this error

[Steve Machol]

No, I can't. I simply don't know. The place to ask for help with this (and any custom coding) is over at www.vbulletin.org.
