Direct access denied. Please use the WHM interface to change the password.

Hi.

we have a script to create cpanel accounts. It uses communication via socket, with php.

Example:

private function alterPasswordCpanel() {
$dadosAccountAdd = "POST /scripts/passwd?domain={$this->getUserClient()}&password={$this->getPassClient()} \r\n HTTP/1.0\r\n";
$dataAccountAdd .= "Host: Example \r\n";
$dataAccountAdd .= "Authorization: Basic " . $this->authorizationBasicString () . "\r\n\r\n";

$result = '';

$this->fPut ( $dataAccountAdd );

while ( ! feof ( $this->socket ) ) {
$result .= htmlspecialchars ( $this->fGets () );
}
echo '<hr>???'.$result.'???<hr>';
$this->fClose ();

}

I formatted the server. Before it worked perfectly, now displays the following message:

"Direct access denied. Please use the WHM interface to change the password."

Can anyone help me?

This was changed due to security issues within the change password interface. For this type of interaction, you should be using the XML-API:

ChangePassword < AllDocumentation/AutomationIntegration < TWiki

I've moved this thread into the Developer Discussions area of the forums.

Yes.

I solved a problem.

Tks.
