5### Description
6
7Provides universal Single Sign-On feature so that WordPress can use the vBulletin user database to manage authentication and user profile data.
8The system has two components. First, there’s a vBulletin plugin that creates an interface for authenticating, controlling access, and managing user profile data. The second component is plugins for other platforms (like DokuWiki) that teach it to talk to vBulletin and exchange data.

12This plugin is provided as is. Support and additional customizations are available at an hourly rate.
13Plugin 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.
14Plugin doesn't revert already sync data back to its original state if you decide to disable plugin later.
