    Browser app to bypass work security

    I run a discussion forum and I have just been told that one of my visitors cannot login to my vbulletin forum due to security restrictions at his workplace. With this in mind, I was wondering if its possible to create some mini app where you enter username/pw and it can login but bypass the security that somehow stops him logging in. He can still view the forum but can't post due to the login issue. I want to get around that.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    Jon

    It almost certainly is possible but as you would be explicitly aiding someone in breaking company policy (if not the law) with the likely result that said someone could be dismissed or worse don't expect anyone here to tell you how to do it. After 394 posts you should be aware that it is explicitly against the rules of the forum to even discuss such matters.

    I do not have access to their company policy so cannot say if I would be breaking it or not. All I know is that their setup does not allow him to login.

    I think you can take that as a fairly explicit statement of company policy. It would certainly be taken to be so by any court! If you can't do it then it's reasonable to assume that you shouldn't!

    I agree. Discussing how to bypass legitimate security restrictions are against this forum rules so this thread is now closed.
