JSON API -> Permission Denied

[reatum]

Hi

I'm trying to create custom wrappers for the api calls (don't want to use the xml class).
Account creation works fine, but account termination and ip change shows up:

stdClass Object
(
[status] => 0
[statusmsg] => Permission Denied
)

Do you have any ideas?
By the way, I'm using the root account.

Hi Reatum,

If you're authenticating as root, then their should be no problem. First thing I'd try is to dump the actual URL/query string and make sure that the right HTTP request is being made. It should look something like:

https://192.168.1.1:2087/json-api/removeacct?user=byebye

My second guess is that you're not authenticating as a privileged user, ie root. I know you said you're using root, but I'm just throwing it out there for others that maybe in a similar situation. If you have a reseller account, it's possible that you can create accounts but not have permission to terminate accounts.

Lastly, I personally haven't been able to reproduce that message for removeacct. You say you're able to make any other call via json-api without failure? It's possible, though unlikely, that you're running into a security issue. That is, your calls have sent up some flags and the server is halting your actions. --just a wild thought

Check you're requesting URL and see what it is, hopefully it'll be simple fix!

PS. you can almost always make any query call directly in a browser address bar, you just need to authenticate once

My bad. Didn't know that the authentication header has to be set on every request.
Keep up the good work!

I've given up building my own custom api implementation, and used the existing one, only to get the same error:

Array
(
[status] => 0
[statusmsg] => Permission Denied
)

Now that's only returned when I call the setsiteip function. Account creation/termination works fine.

Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hey reatum,

I don't know why you'd receive that error on setsiteip.

If you're using the XMLAPI.php client class, set it to debug mode and post the output (in a code block).

$xmlapi-set_debug(1);

$xmlapi->setsiteip('9.3.2.1','username'); //or "'9.3.2.1', null, 'mysite.com'"

output:

URL: https://192.162.1.1:2087/xml-api/setsiteip
DATA: ip=9.3.2.1&user=someone
Authentication Header: Authorization: Basic jm9vdApcaGFuZWzx


RESPONSE:
 <setsiteip>
  <result>
    <status>1</status>
    <statusmsg></statusmsg>
  </result>
</setsiteip>

SimpleXML var_dump:
SimpleXMLElement Object
(
    [result] => SimpleXMLElement Object
        (
            [status] => 1
            [statusmsg] => SimpleXMLElement Object
                (
                )

        )

)

PS. remember to add your IPs before you attempt to assign them.
