whm plugin how to get username

[hostydotnet]

hi,

if you are making a plugin for whm, how do you get the username data from the api?

i need to get the whm username so i can reference their folder in a script /home/username/folder

im am trying to do this through perl.

thanks,

$ENV{'REMOTE_USER'}

hi,

oh yea, also....it thinks that everyone is root. how does cpanel, whm or whmreseller v3 do it.

hi,

i hate to be that guy and bump this but it is severely holding me back. this is the only site in the universe where i MIGHT get an answer.....bump.

to recap. i tried that....it asks to authenticate. it shouldn't ask to authenticate because whm knows that you are logged in and knows what your username is.

there has to be a more official method than $ENV{'REMOTE_USER'}

thanks,
