I haven't pinpointed the exact problem yet, but there seems to be an issue with Drupal vB and how vBulletin's Admin Control Panel works.

There are times when I am logged in to Drupal as an admin, and then I need to access the Admin CP in vBulletin. When I click on the link to go to the control panel, vBulletin asks me to log in again. After I sign on, I have access to Drupal, vBulletin and the vBulletin Admin Control Panel, but then after I leave the CP I seem to mysteriously lose connectivity to vBulletin.

At this point I have a connection to Drupal but no connection in vBulletin. If I attempt to log in again to vB, it obviously denies me from doing so because I'm already logged in to Drupal. Seems to be a bit of a cookie problem maybe?

Unfortunately, this is by vBulletin's design. If you log out from vB (whether in front end or back end is unimportant), your user session is completely removed. However, you'll still be logged in in Drupal, because user logins/logouts in vB do not affect user sessions in Drupal.

If I attempt to log in again to vB, it obviously denies me from doing so because I'm already logged in to Drupal.

You should be able to log in to vB at any time. If you have exported your Drupal users to vBulletin with one of the previous v2.x versions, you may need to export your Drupal users again to reset/fix their passwords in vB.

A fix for #131089: Dual login doesn't work (cookiedomain) has been committed recently and is now available in the latest development snapshot. This may solve your issue, too.

Thus, marking as fixed. Feel free to re-open this issue.
