cPanel Login Fails

[ManXP]

I knwo it's impossible to add cronjobs using cPanel API, so I'm using curl to do it.

The problem is, that I can't get cPanel login system working promptly. I can login to cPanel main page, but as soon as I request other cPanel pages (like cronjobs page), I'm logged out. It works *SOMETIMES*, so I believe it's something related to cPanel itself. I'm using same code for hundreds of other sites and it works perfectly. Here is the code I use:

$cookie="cpanel_cookie.txt";


//login to cPanel
$ch=curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://domain.com:2082/login/?user=$cpanel_username&pass=$cpanel_password");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $cookie);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $cookie);
$post=curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

//echo $post; //if I echo this, everything works PERFECTLY - I'm logged in!




//add cronjob(s)

//parse existing cronjobs first
$ch=curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://domain.com:2082/frontend/x3/cron/advcron.html");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $cookie);
$post=curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

//echo $post; //if I echo this, I'm NOT logged in anymore! But *SOMETIMES* it works... 

Any ideas?

Do you have XSRF protection(s) enabled? You can check in WHM -> Server Configuration -> Tweak Settings -> Security.

While it's not a good idea to disable these protections, that's something that could be interfering with the functionality of your script.

It's disabled. The most interesting part is that SOMETIMES it works correctly, and sometimes does not.
