Authentication cPanel with public key

[rdsdesign]

Hi everyone,

I would like know if exists somehow to access cPanel with root hash. I don´t found this issue yet, but I believe it´s possible because on the WHM has a link (https://xxx:2087/xfercpanel/login) of accessing without authentication on the cPanel.

Thanks,

Hi Everyone.

I´m looking for more information about authentication on the cPanel using root public key. Anybody know how can I to do that? I already search in all forum but I don´t found any information for help me. When I list accounts on the WHM and click under cPanel icon I access automaticly the customer cPanel. I need to make exactly that. Can anybody help me?

Thanks,

Ricardo

I moved your original post from the advertising section to the developer section. Since you made a new post that is very similar, I combined the two into a single thread.

Unfortunately, as of this time, the access hash is WHM only. That being said, you can use the access hash w/ the XML-API's cpanel call to perform cpanel API calls.

e.g. if you wanted to get a list of email accounts available to a user you would execute:

$ip:2087/xml-api/cpanel?cpanel_xmlapi_module=Email&cpanel_xmlapi_func=listpopswithdisk&user=$username

This is all authenticated as root, but there is access to cPanel's API.

Ok. I modified my code. Now, I am using a authentication with user and password of my customer and I need to verify if user and password are correct before accessing cPanel. Is it possible? I wanna use XML API, where can I to find that?

This example also don´t work for me. I´m doing a ajax code and I need to verify if user and password are working before acessing cPanel because I´m going to make a treatment.

Something like:

$content = file_get_contents('http://'. $ip ':2082/login/?user='. $user . '&pass='. $pass);

if ($content == 'ok') {
// authentication
}
else {
// show error
}

It´s a simple example. I wanna know if it´s possible. Is it?

Thanks,

The XMLAPI works by taking in HTTP basic auth headers, so a session cookie is not needed (meaning you don't need to hit the login page at all).

if you were to just do something like what's listed in the "ApiAuthentication" wiki page:

ApiAuthentication < AllDocumentation/AutomationIntegration < TWiki

it would probably work.

or you could use the XML-API class to do this (see api2_example.php)

Hi Matt.

Thanks for your assistance. I´m going to create a code that looking for "Login Attempt Failed!" in result. I think that it isn´t a best practice, but I don´t get think another way.

Thanks again.
