verifying cpanel is connectable via API

[kevin77]

i am just trying to run a check to make sure that the credentials used for cpanel work, however, my code is not working at all. it seems that i get the message "connected to cpanel" even if i am using credentials that i know are not working.

heres the code

    $cpCfg = array(
        'cpanel'=>array(
            'service'=>array(
                'cpanel' => array(
                    'host' => $_POST['cpanel_host'],
                    'user' => $_POST['cpanel_username'],
                    'password' => $_POST['cpanel_password'],
                )
            )
        )
    );
    
    if ($cp = Cpanel_PublicAPI::getInstance($cpCfg))
    {
        echo 'connected to cpanel';
    }
    else
    {
        echo 'failed to connect to cpanel';
    }

like i said, no matter what i enter in the form, i get the same result - "connected to cpanel"

Hi kevin77,

No authentication attempt is performed until you make an API request. The return value from getInstance is simply an object that will allow you to make said queries.
