API requests over internal network

[Ilyas]

I have an application that uses th cpanel API. I would like to make those API request from my internal network. I've set everything up to do some testing but I can't seem to connect to the API over the internal network.

Does anyone know how to configure cPanel to accept these requests. The setup is as followed:

cPanel config
eth0 -> primary IP
eth1&2 -> local network to communicate with our private cloud
eth3 -> 172.16.0.40 (the local network that I would like to use

Application Server Config:
eth0 -> primary IP
eth1&2 -> local network to communicate with our private cloud
eth3 -> 172.16.0.100 (the local network that I would like to use

/etc/hosts on the application server

174.16.0.40 hostname serverxx.domain.com

I can ping the cpanel server from the application server using it's FQDN but when I connect to the API or try to curl the WHM login url I get no return.

What could be causing this?

Hello,

Could you let us know the specific method you are using to make the API connection? Have you tried using the local IP address as the host?

Thank you.
