Change Password API from remote server?

[jhyland87]

So I am using WHMCS to manage my customers, id like to disable the password changing option, or simply remove the link from within the users cpanel, and make a new one, where it will take them to the whmcs login, and force them to change the password in their, this will allow me to login and assist them with things such as phpmyadmin, fantastico, whmsonic, and other addons that the whm to cpanel login wont do.

How can I have my remote script, change a users password? Its not on the same server at all..

Thanks

Yes, you can use the XML API to change a user's password. Here's the documentation:

http://twiki.cpanel.net/twiki/bin/vi...ChangePassword

Remember, the XML API can be called from a remote server.

You can disable the change password functionality via Feature Manager. However, this will also disable the change password functionality in that user's webmail interface for all their webmail accounts.

As far as adding a custom link to your control panel interface, are you familiar with how you can use our online plugin generator to do that for you?

Is it possible to disable password changes for the main account only? I dont care for the mail passwords. I would make a script that would force them to change the passwords via whm as well, but im not sure how I would get the emails/ftp accounts in the first place.

I see on http://twiki.cpanel.net/twiki/bin/vi...ssKeys/PhpKeys, you teach how to gain access of a remote server, using the cpanel key, but what would be on the '/usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/Accounting.php.inc' page. I am also gaining access to my whm, via a shared account on a server that I dont run, this I dont have access to that directory...
